what is the rest of this saying that is in romeo and Juliet all i have is "tis better....???

Question

please can you tell me where i can find that quote in the play of romeo and juliet, i tried looking online i can't find it anywhere?

Answer 1

Fab1's quote is not from R&J; it's Tennyson.

A full-text search finds 12 mentions of the word "better," and none of them are preceded by " 'tis." I think you have gotten a bum steer someplace.

Answer 2

Is this what you're looking for? There is no phrase saying 'tis better.. in Romeo and Juliet.

JULIET:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name
Belonging to a man.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;
And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

This is part of the balcony scene.

'It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.' is a quote from Tennyson and is found no-where in Shakespear's writings.
