heads； Staying for thine to keep him company。 Either thou or I； or both；
must go with him。 Tyb。 Thou； wretched boy； that didst consort him here；
Shalt with him hence。 Rom。 This shall determine that。 They fight。 Tybalt
falls。 Ben。 Romeo； away； be gone！ The citizens are up； and Tybalt slain。
Stand not amaz'd。 The Prince will doom thee death If thou art taken。
Hence； be gone； away！ Rom。 O； I am fortune's fool！ Ben。 Why dost thou
stay？ Exit Romeo。 Enter Citizens。
Citizen。 Which way ran he that kill'd Mercutio？ Tybalt； that
murtherer； which way ran he？ Ben。 There lies that Tybalt。 Citizen。 Up； sir；
go with me。 I charge thee in the Prince's name obey。
Enter Prince ＇attended＇； Old Montague； Capulet； their Wives； and
＇others＇。
Prince。 Where are the vile beginners of this fray？ Ben。 O noble Prince。

ROMEO AND JULIET
I can discover all The unlucky manage of this fatal brawl。 There lies the
man； slain by young Romeo； That slew thy kinsman； brave Mercutio。 Cap。
Wife。 Tybalt； my cousin！ O my brother's child！ O Prince！ O husband！ O；
the blood is spill'd Of my dear kinsman！ Prince； as thou art true； For blood
of ours shed blood of Montague。 O cousin； cousin！ Prince。 Benvolio； who
began this bloody fray？ Ben。 Tybalt； here slain； whom Romeo's hand did
stay。 Romeo； that spoke him fair； bid him bethink How nice the quarrel
was； and urg'd withal Your high displeasure。 All this… uttered With gentle
breath； calm look； knees humbly bow'd… Could not take truce with the
unruly spleen Of Tybalt deaf to peace； but that he tilts With piercing steel
at bold Mercutio's breast； Who； all as hot； turns deadly point to point； And；
with a martial scorn； with one hand beats Cold death aside and with the
other sends It back to Tybalt； whose dexterity Retorts it。 Romeo he cries
aloud； 'Hold； friends！ friends； part！' and swifter than his tongue； His agile
arm beats down their fatal points； And 'twixt them rushes； underneath
whose arm An envious thrust from Tybalt hit the life Of stout Mercutio；
and then Tybalt fled； But by…and…by comes back to Romeo； Who had but
newly entertain'd revenge； And to't they go like lightning； for； ere I Could
draw to part them； was stout Tybalt slain； And； as he fell； did Romeo turn
and fly。 This is the truth； or let Benvolio die。 Cap。 Wife。 He is a kinsman to
the Montague； Affection makes him false； he speaks not true。 Some
twenty of them fought in this black strife； And all those twenty could but
kill one life。 I beg for justice； which thou； Prince； must give。 Romeo slew
Tybalt； Romeo must not live。 Prince。 Romeo slew him； he slew Mercutio。
Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe？ Mon。 Not Romeo； Prince；
he was Mercutio's friend； His fault concludes but what the law should end；
The life of Tybalt。 Prince。 And for that offence Immediately we do exile
him hence。 I have an interest in your hate's proceeding； My blood for your
rude brawls doth lie a…bleeding； But I'll amerce you with so strong 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 use
none。 Let Romeo hence in haste； Else； when he is found； that hour is his
last。 Bear hence this body； and attend our will。 Mercy but murders；
pardoning those that kill。 Exeunt。

ROMEO AND JULIET
SCENE II。 Capulet's orchard。
Enter Juliet alone。
Jul。 Gallop apace； you fiery…footed steeds； Towards Phoebus' lodging！
Such a wagoner As Phaeton would whip you to the West And bring in
cloudy night immediately。 Spread thy close curtain； love…performing night；
That runaway eyes may wink； and Romeo Leap to these arms untalk'd of
and unseen。 Lovers can see to do their amorous rites By their own beauties；
or； if love be blind； It best agrees with night。 Come； civil night； Thou
sober…suited matron； all in black； And learn me how to lose a winning
match； Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods。 Hood my unmann'd
blood； bating in my cheeks； With thy black mantle till strange love； grown
bold； Think true love acted simple modesty。 Come； night； come； Romeo；
come； thou day in night； For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night Whiter
than new snow upon a raven's back。 Come； gentle night； come； loving；
black…brow'd night； Give me my Romeo； and； when he shall die； Take him
and cut him out in little stars； And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the
garish sun。 O； I have bought the mansion of a love； But not possess'd it；
and though I am sold； Not yet enjoy'd。 So tedious is this day As is the
night before some festival To an impatient child that hath new robes And
may not wear them。 O； here comes my nurse；
Enter Nurse； with cords。
And she brings news； and every tongue that speaks But Romeo's
name speaks heavenly eloquence。 Now； nurse； what news？ What hast thou
there？ the cords That Romeo bid thee fetch？ Nurse。 Ay； ay； the cords。
＇Throws them down。＇ Jul。 Ay me！ what news？ Why dost thou wring thy
hands Nurse。 Ah； weraday！ he's dead； he's dead； he's dead！ We are undone；
lady； we are undone！ Alack the day！ he's gone； he's kill'd； he's dead！ Jul。
Can heaven be so envious？ Nurse。 Romeo can； Though heaven cannot。 O
Romeo； Romeo！ Who ever would have thought it？ Romeo！ Jul。 What devil
art thou that dost torment me thus？ This torture should be roar'd in dismal
hell。 Hath Romeo slain himself？ Say thou but 'I；' And that bare vowel 'I'
shall poison more Than the death…darting eye of cockatrice。 I am not I； if

there be such an 'I'； Or those eyes shut that make thee answer 'I。' If be be
slain； say 'I'； or if not； 'no。' Brief sounds determine of my weal or woe。
Nurse。 I saw the wound； I saw it with mine eyes； （God save the mark！）
here on his manly breast。 A piteous corse； a bloody piteous corse； Pale；
pale as ashes； all bedaub'd in blood； All in gore…blood。 I swounded at the
sight。 Jul。 O； break； my heart！ poor bankrout； break at once！ To prison；
eyes； ne'er look on
