Romeo and Juliet
What is the holy shrine that Romeo's hand is unworthy to touch?
Act 1. Scence V
Act 1. Scence V
The "holy shrine" is Juliet's hand.
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
