I,1,101

(stage directions). [Enter PRINCE, with Attendants]

Prince Escalus. Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Profaners of this neighbour-stained steel,—
Will they not hear? What, ho! yous men, you beasts,
That quench the fire of your pernicious rage
With royal fountains issuing from your veins,
On pain of torture, from those bloody hands
Throw your mistemper'd weapons to the footing,
And hear the judgement of your moved prince.
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,
Past thee, old Capulet, and Montague,
Take thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,
And made Verona's ancient citizens
Bandage by their grave beseeming ornaments,
To wield old partisans, in hands as old,
Canker'd with peace, to part your herpes'd hate:
If always yous disturb our streets again,
Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
For this fourth dimension, all the residual depart abroad:
You Capulet; shall get along with me:
And, Montague, come you this afternoon,
To know our farther pleasure in this instance,
To old Free-town, our common judgment-identify.
Over again, on pain of decease, all men depart.

Iii,ane,1658

First Denizen. Up, sir, go with me;
I charge thee in the princes name, obey.
[Enter Prince, attended; MONTAGUE, CAPULET, their]
Wives, and others]

Prince Escalus. Where are the vile beginners of this fray?

III,ane,1668

Lady Capulet. Tybalt, my cousin! O my blood brother'southward child!
O prince! O cousin! husband! O, the claret is spilt
O my dear kinsman! Prince, as thou art true,
For blood of ours, shed blood of Montague.
O cousin, cousin!

Prince Escalus. Benvolio, who began this encarmine fray?

Iii,1,1700

Lady Capulet. He is a kinsman to the Montague;
Amore makes him false; he speaks not true:
Some 20 of them fought in this black strife,
And all those twenty could but kill 1 life.
I beg for justice, which k, prince, must give;
Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live.

Prince Escalus. Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio;
Who now the cost of his love blood doth owe?

Three,1,1705

Montague. Not Romeo, prince, he was Mercutio's friend;
His fault concludes but what the law should cease,
The life of Tybalt.

Prince Escalus. And for that offence
Immediately we do exile him hence:
I have an interest in your hate's proceeding,
My claret for your rude brawls doth lie a-haemorrhage;
But I'll amerce you with so stiff a fine
That you shall all repent the loss of mine:
I will be deaf to pleading and excuses;
Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses:
Therefore employ none: let Romeo hence in haste,
Else, when he's found, that hr is his last.
Bear hence this torso and attend our volition:
Mercy just murders, pardoning those that kill.

(stage directions). [Enter the PRINCE and Attendants]

Prince Escalus. What misadventure is so early up,
That calls our person from our forenoon's rest?

5,3,3167

Lady Capulet. The people in the street weep Romeo,
Some Juliet, and some Paris; and all run,
With open outcry toward our monument.

Prince Escalus. What fear is this which startles in our ears?

V,iii,3171

Beginning Watchman. Sovereign, here lies the Canton Paris slain;
And Romeo dead; and Juliet, dead before,
Warm and new kill'd.

Prince Escalus. Search, seek, and know how this foul murder comes.

V,3,3182

(phase directions). [Enter MONTAGUE and others]

Prince Escalus. Come, Montague; for one thousand art early up,
To see thy son and heir more early down.

Five,iii,3187

Montague. Alas, my liege, my wife is dead to-night;
Grief of my son'southward exile hath stopp'd her breath:
What further woe conspires against mine age?

Prince Escalus. Expect, and k shalt see.

V,iii,3190

Montague. O thou untaught! what manners is in this?
To press before thy father to a grave?

Prince Escalus. Seal upwardly the oral cavity of outrage for a while,
Till we can clear these ambiguities,
And know their jump, their head, their
true descent;
So will I be full general of your woes,
And lead yous even to expiry: meantime forbear,
And let mischance be slave to patience.
Bring along the parties of suspicion.

Five,3,3203

Friar Laurence. I am the greatest, able to do to the lowest degree,
Yet almost suspected, as the time and place
Doth make confronting me of this direful murder;
And here I stand up, both to impeach and purge
Myself condemned and myself excused.

Prince Escalus. Then say at once what thou dost know in this.

V,iii,3245

Friar Laurence. I will exist brief, for my curt date of breath
Is not so long as is a tedious tale.
Romeo, at that place dead, was married man to that Juliet;
And she, in that location dead, that Romeo's faithful married woman:
I married them; and their stol'n marriage-24-hour interval
Was Tybalt's dooms-day, whose untimely death
Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from the urban center,
For whom, and not for Tybalt, Juliet pined.
You, to remove that siege of grief from her,
Betroth'd and would have married her perforce
To Canton Paris: and so comes she to me,
And, with wild looks, bid me devise some hateful
To rid her from this second marriage,
Or in my cell at that place would she kill herself.
Then gave I her, then tutor'd by my fine art,
A sleeping potion; which so took effect
As I intended, for it wrought on her
The class of expiry: meantime I writ to Romeo,
That he should here come as this dire dark,
To assistance to take her from her borrow'd grave,
Being the time the potion's force should cease.
Simply he which bore my letter, Friar John,
Was stay'd past accident, and yesternight
Return'd my letter of the alphabet back. And so all alone
At the prefixed 60 minutes of her waking,
Came I to take her from her kindred's vault;
Significant to keep her closely at my cell,
Till I conveniently could send to Romeo:
But when I came, some minute ere the fourth dimension
Of her awaking, here untimely lay
The noble Paris and true Romeo dead.
She wakes; and I entreated her come forth,
And carry this work of heaven with patience:
But so a noise did scare me from the tomb;
And she, too drastic, would not get with me,
But, every bit it seems, did violence on herself.
All this I know; and to the spousal relationship
Her nurse is privy: and, if aught in this
Miscarried by my fault, let my old life
Be sacrificed, some hour before his time,
Unto the rigour of severest police.

Prince Escalus. We still have known thee for a holy man.
Where's Romeo's man? what can he say in this?

5,3,3253

Balthasar. I brought my main news of Juliet'due south death;
And then in post he came from Mantua
To this same place, to this aforementioned monument.
This letter of the alphabet he early bid me give his father,
And threatened me with expiry, going in the vault,
I departed non and left him there.

Prince Escalus. Give me the alphabetic character; I volition look on information technology.
Where is the county's folio, that raised the spotter?
Sirrah, what made your main in this place?

5,iii,3261

Page. He came with flowers to strew his lady's grave;
And bid me stand up aloof, and so I did:
Anon comes ane with light to ope the tomb;
And past and past my chief drew on him;
And then I ran away to call the watch.

Prince Escalus. This alphabetic character doth make proficient the friar's words,
Their form of love, the tidings of her death:
And hither he writes that he did buy a toxicant
Of a poor 'pothecary, and therewithal
Came to this vault to die, and prevarication with Juliet.
Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague!
See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.
And I for winking at your discords too
Have lost a brace of kinsmen: all are punish'd.

V,3,3281

Capulet. As rich shall Romeo'due south past his lady'southward lie;
Poor sacrifices of our enmity!

Prince Escalus. A glooming peace this morning with information technology brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more than talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more than woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
