Read the lines from Act I, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo: [To JULIET.] 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.

Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
