What's in a name?

Read the following extract.

Jul.Tis but thy name that is my enemy;

Thou art thyself though, not a Montague.

Whats Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,

Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part

Belonging to a man. O! be some other name:

Whats in a name? that which we call a rose

By any other name would smell as sweet;

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo calld,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;

And for that name, which is no part of thee,

Take all myself.

Rom. I take thee at thy word.

Call me but love, and Ill be new baptizd;

Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
