Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene 2, example 13

In the 2^nd meeting, the love and proximity between Romeo and Juliet becomes more and more obvious.

Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art [A]Romeo? Deny [B]father and refuse [C]name! Or, if [D]wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Romeo: [aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Juliet: 'Tis but [E] name that is my enemy. [F]art [G]self, though not a Montague. What is Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff [H] name; And for that name, which is no part of [I], Take all myself.
Romeo: I take [J] at [K]word. Call me but love, and I'll be new baptiz'd; Henceforth I never will be Romeo.
Juliet: What man art [L] that, thus bescreen'd in night, So stumblest on my counsel?
Romeo: By a name I know not how to tell [M] who I am. My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, Because it is an enemy to [N]. Had I it written, I would tear the word.
Juliet: My ears have yet not drunk a hundred words Of that tongue's utterance, yet I know the sound. Art [O] not Romeo, and a Montague?
