Act 2 scene 3-4
Mercutio describes Tybalt as a talented fighter, who has great insight, reflexes, and timing. He says that Tybalt is a "master" sword fighter.
More than Prince of Cats. Oh, he’s the courageous captain of compliments. He fights as you sing prick-song, keeps time, distance, and proportion. He rests his minim rests—one, two, and the third in your bosom. The very butcher of a silk button, a duelist, a duelist, a gentleman of the very first house of the first and second cause. Ah, the immortal passado, the punto reverso, the hai!
