sin…absolver； and my friend profess'd； To mangle me with that word
'banished'？ Friar。 Thou fond mad man； hear me a little speak。 Rom。 O；
thou wilt speak again of banishment。 Friar。 I'll give thee armour to keep
off that word； Adversity's sweet milk； philosophy； To comfort thee； though
thou art banished。 Rom。 Yet 'banished'？ Hang up philosophy！ Unless
philosophy can make a Juliet； Displant a town； reverse a prince's doom； It
helps not； it prevails not。 Talk no more。 Friar。 O； then I see that madmen
have no ears。 Rom。 How should they； when that wise men have no eyes？
Friar。 Let me dispute with thee of thy estate。 Rom。 Thou canst not speak of
that thou dost not feel。 Wert thou as young as I； Juliet thy love； An hour
but married； Tybalt murdered； Doting like me； and like me banished； Then
mightst thou speak； then mightst thou tear thy hair； And fall upon the
ground； as I do now； Taking the measure of an unmade grave。 Knock
＇within＇。 Friar。 Arise； one knocks。 Good Romeo； hide thyself。 Rom。 Not I；
unless the breath of heartsick groans； Mist…like infold me from the search
of eyes。 Knock。 Friar。 Hark； how they knock！ Who's there？ Romeo； arise；
Thou wilt be taken。… Stay awhile！… Stand up； Knock。 Run to my study。…
By…and…by！… God's will； What simpleness is this。… I come； I come！ Knock。
Who knocks so hard？ Whence come you？ What's your will Nurse。 ＇within＇
Let me come in； and you shall know my errand。 I come from Lady Juliet。
Friar。 Welcome then。
Enter Nurse。
Nurse。 O holy friar； O； tell me； holy friar Where is my lady's lord；
where's Romeo？ Friar。 There on the ground； with his own tears made
drunk。 Nurse。 O； he is even in my mistress' case； Just in her case！ Friar。 O
woeful sympathy！ Piteous predicament！ Nurse。 Even so lies she；
Blubb'ring and weeping； weeping and blubbering。 Stand up； stand up！
Stand； an you be a man。 For Juliet's sake； for her sake； rise and stand！ Why
should you fall into so deep an O？ Rom。 （rises） Nurse… Nurse。 Ah sir！ ah
sir！ Well； death's the end of all。 Rom。 Spakest thou of Juliet？ How is it
with her？ Doth not she think me an old murtherer； Now I have stain'd the
childhood of our joy With blood remov'd but little from her own？ Where is
she？ and how doth she！ and what says My conceal'd lady to our cancell'd
love？ Nurse。 O； she says nothing； sir； but weeps and weeps； And now falls

on her bed； and then starts up； And Tybalt calls； and then on Romeo cries；
And then down falls again。 Rom。 As if that name； Shot from the deadly
level of a gun； Did murther her； as that name's cursed hand Murder'd her
kinsman。 O； tell me； friar； tell me； In what vile part of this anatomy Doth
my name lodge？ Tell me； that I may sack The hateful mansion。 ＇Draws his
dagger。＇ Friar。 Hold thy desperate hand。 Art thou a man？ Thy form cries
out thou art； Thy tears are womanish； thy wild acts denote The
unreasonable fury of a beast。 Unseemly woman in a seeming man！ Or ill…
beseeming beast in seeming both！ Thou hast amaz'd me。 By my holy order；
I thought thy disposition better temper'd。 Hast thou slain Tybalt？ Wilt thou
slay thyself？ And slay thy lady that in thy life lives； By doing damned hate
upon thyself？ Why railest thou on thy birth； the heaven； and earth？ Since
birth and heaven and earth； all three do meet In thee at once； which thou at
once wouldst lose。 Fie； fie； thou shamest thy shape； thy love； thy wit；
Which； like a usurer； abound'st in all； And usest none in that true use
indeed Which should bedeck thy shape； thy love； thy wit。 Thy noble shape
is but a form of wax Digressing from the valour of a man； Thy dear love
sworn but hollow perjury； Killing that love which thou hast vow'd to
cherish； Thy wit； that ornament to shape and love； Misshapen in the
conduct of them both； Like powder in a skilless soldier's flask； is get afire
by thine own ignorance； And thou dismemb'red with thine own defence。
What； rouse thee； man！ Thy Juliet is alive； For whose dear sake thou wast
but lately dead。 There art thou happy。 Tybalt would kill thee； But thou
slewest Tybalt。 There art thou happy too。 The law； that threat'ned death；
becomes thy friend And turns it to exile。 There art thou happy。 A pack of
blessings light upon thy back； Happiness courts thee in her best array； But；
like a misbhav'd and sullen wench； Thou pout'st upon thy fortune and thy
love。 Take heed； take heed； for such die miserable。 Go get thee to thy love；
as was decreed； Ascend her chamber； hence and comfort her。 But look
thou stay not till the watch be set； For then thou canst not pass to Mantua；
Where thou shalt live till we can find a time To blaze your marriage；
reconcile your friends； Beg pardon of the Prince； and call thee back With
twenty hundred thousand times more joy Than thou went'st forth in
lamentation。 Go before； nurse。 Commend me to thy lady； And bid her

hasten all the house to bed； Which heavy sorrow makes them apt unto。
Romeo is coming。 Nurse。 O Lord； I could have stay'd here all the night To
hear good counsel。 O； what learning is！ My lord； I'll tell my lady you will
come。 Rom。 Do so； and bid my sweet prepare to chide。 Nurse。 Here is a
ring she bid me give you； sir。 Hie you； make haste； for it grows very late。
Exit。 Rom。 How well my comfort is reviv'd by this！ Friar。 Go hence； good
night； and here stands all your state： Either be gone before the watch be set；
Or by the break of day disguis'd from hence。 Sojourn in Mantua。 I'll find
out your man； And he shall signify from time to time Every good hap to
you that chances here。 Give me thy hand。 'Tis late。 Farewell； good night。
Rom。 But that a joy past joy calls out on me； It were a grief so brief to part
with thee。 Farewell。 Exeunt。
