Matthew Hurst Quote Interpretation “Not I, believe me. You have dancing Shoes with nimble soles; I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move.” – spoken by Romeo pg 752 I personally like this quote because Mercutio is trying to get Romeo back on his feet, but Romeo is having nothing to do with it. Romeo tells Mercutio to go ahead and dance because he has shoes with nimble SOLES meaning his heart is light and he is able to love. Romeo how ever has a lead SOUL that means his heart is heavy and he is unable to love anyone else. He said his lead soul stakes him to the ground because he does not feel like dancing.
