It says," From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." (I.i.42, 66,67,and 70-72) Sampson, a Capulet makes an insulting jester to Abram a Montague. Sampson says," Nay, s they dare. I will bite my thumb at them, which is disgrace to them if they bear it." Tybalt has his sword at the Montague's drawn and says," What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds?"
