Read the excerpt from act i, scene i of romeo and juliet
what stops benvolio from approaching romeo?
so early walking did i see your son:
towards him i made, but he was ware of me,
10
o romeo told benvolio to turn away and leave him alone.
benvolio lost track of romeo in the busy verona streets
o romeo did not recognize benvolio when he saw him.
benvolio noticed that romeo purposely hid from him.
and stole into the covert of the wood:
1, measuring his affections by my own,
that most are busied when they're most alone,
pursu'd my humour not pursuing his,
and gladly shunn'd who gladly fled from me
