In Act 2, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet e., a conversation between Juliet's father and Tybalt takes
place:
Capulet: Young Romeo, is it?
Tybalt: 'Tis he, that villain Romeo.
Capulet: Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone:
He bears him like a portly gentleman;
65
And, to say truth, Verona brags of him.
To be a virtuous and well-govern'd youth.
I would not for the wealth of all this town
Here in my house do him disparagement;
Therefore be patient, take no note of him:
It is my will; the which if thou respect,
70
Show a fair presence and put off these frowns,
An ill-beseeming semblance for a feast.
