Act V, scene 1, by the Duke: "The very mercy of the law cries out / Most audible, even from his proper tongue, / 'An Angelo for Claudio, death for death!' / Haste still pays haste, and leisure answers leisure; / Like doth quit like, and Measure still for Measure."
It also comes from a reference to the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 7:1-2 : "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

Romeo and Juliet. When Juliet, who is a Capulet, finds out Romeo is a Montague, she is torn because of her feelings toward him, and the feelings her family has towards his family, or in this case, his name. She is saying the feelings she has shouldn't change just because she learned his last name. Everyone knows what a rose is and how it smells, but what if we called it something we know to be ugly and capable of hurting you, like a cactus? It would still be pretty and smell wonderful, making a name just that....a name.
