If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark. Now will he sit under a medlar tree, And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit As maids call medlars, when they laugh alone. Romeo, that she were, O, that she were An open et caetera, thou a poperin pear! Romeo, good night: I'll to my truckle-bed; This field-bed is too cold for me to sleep: Come, shall we go

    Mercutio's speech in Act II scene i of "Romeo and Juliet".

    Explanation:

    Taken from Act II scene i of the romantic tragedy play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, these words are uttered by Mercutio. The scene shows the disappearance of Romeo after the trio attended the party at the Capulets'.

    Mercutio's comment that love is blind, and that it "cannot hit the mark" shows his belief that Romeo is just lusting after Rosalind. They still believe that Romeo was still pining for Rosalind who had refused to have sex with him, though on the contrary, Romeo had already moved on and is currently after Juliet. And it is this 'wrong' perception of Romeo's wants that Mercutio thinks will be unsuccessful for Romeo. For, he believes that Romeo is looking for a woman who will be free in her approach and beliefs of sexual matters.
