Enter Romeo,Benvolio(Montagues) and Mercutio Romeo’s friend. They are going to Capulet’s mansion for masquerade party. Romeo says he does not want to go because he soul is too heavy with lead when Mercutio says about dancing.’I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.’ After Romeo’s excuse doesn’t work he moves on to say that he had a dream about going to the party that it would not end well Mercutio replies saying that dreams are just the work of Queen Mab, Romeo interrupts but Mercutio continues to say.’True, I talk of dreams,Which are the children of an idle brain, Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,’ Benvoilo then stops them and says we are going to the party they all leave with Romeo saying my fate is the work of God and I can not change it even if I try.’But He that hath the steerage of my course,Direct my sail. On, lusty gentlemen.’ All exit.

This is a very good job of encapsulating the key events in this scene, Harry – not to mention clever selection of quotations.
Nice work.
