This is a quote from Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio has been stabbed under Romeo's arm but does not want to be shown as a weakling in front of "the guys" . When asked if it is a bad wound, he says the wound is not as deep as a well, nor as wide as a church, but it is bad enough to kill him. He is taken into a nearby house where he then dies.
Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.Origin From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1594: JULIET:'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,Nor arm, nor face, nor any other partBelonging to a man. O, be some other name!What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title. Romeo, doff thy name,And for that name which is no part of theeTake all myself.Courtesy of Phrase.org
