I'll bet the quote is "fain, fain, deny that you love me" (Feign means pretend; fain means, in this context "willingly" or "gladly")

Yes - using that word, a quick search shows that the quote is from the balcony scene of "Romeo and Juliet" -- Juliet is the speaker.




Here's the whole monologue, and a link to the scene:

JULIET
Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
For that which thou hast heard me speak to-night
Fain would I dwell on form, fain, fain deny
What I have spoke: but farewell compliment!
Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear'st,
Thou mayst prove false; at lovers' perjuries
Then say, Jove laughs. O gentle Romeo,
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully:
Or if thou think'st I am too quickly won,
I'll frown and be perverse an say thee nay,
So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world.
In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond,
And therefore thou mayst think my 'havior light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware,
My true love's passion: therefore pardon me,
And not impute this yielding to light love,
Which the dark night hath so discovered.

Just found this on Google so, by word association, my guess is Midsummer Night's Dream.......................

With silly verses thou hast feigned thy love, And stolen the impression of her fantasy With bracelets of thy hair, rings, demon hearts, ...
