If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark.
Now will he sit under a medlar tree,
And wish his mistress were that kind of fruit
As maids call medlars, when they laugh alone.
Romeo, that she were, O, that she were
An open et caetera, thou a poperin pear!
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 1. The cynical Mercutio sees love as more of a sensual and sexual experience. When Romeo breaks into the Capulets’ garden to find Juliet, Mercutio believes that his motivation has to do with sex rather than love. His speech is full of sexual meaning and pun. The medlar is an anus shaped fruit, the poperin pear is a pun on "pop her in" and suggests penis, while an "open et caetera" means an open vagina.
