with a club dash out my desp'rate brains? O; look! methinks I see my
cousin's ghost Seeking out Romeo; that did spit his body Upon a rapier's
point。 Stay; Tybalt; stay! Romeo; I come! this do I drink to thee。
She 'drinks and' falls upon her bed within the curtains。

Spare not for cost。 Nurse。 Go; you cot…quean; go; Get you to bed! Faith;
you'll be sick to…morrow For this night's watching。 Cap。 No; not a whit。
What; I have watch'd ere now All night for lesser cause; and ne'er been
sick。 Lady。 Ay; you have been a mouse…hunt in your time; But I will watch

Nurse。 Mistress! what; mistress! Juliet! Fast; I warrant her; she。 Why;
lamb! why; lady! Fie; you slug…abed! Why; love; I say! madam! sweetheart!
Why; bride! What; not a word? You take your pennyworths now! Sleep for
a week; for the next night; I warrant; The County Paris hath set up his rest
That you shall rest but little。 God forgive me! Marry; and amen。 How
sound is she asleep! I needs must wake her。 Madam; madam; madam! Ay;
let the County take you in your bed! He'll fright you up; i' faith。 Will it not
be? 'Draws aside the curtains。' What; dress'd; and in your clothes; and
down again? I must needs wake you。 Lady! lady! lady! Alas; alas! Help;
help! My lady's dead! O weraday that ever I was born! Some aqua…vitae;
ho! My lord! my lady!
Enter Mother。
Mother。 What noise is here? Nurse。 O lamentable day! Mother。 What

dead; deceas'd; she's dead! Alack the day! Mother。 Alack the day; she's
dead; she's dead; she's dead! Cap。 Ha! let me see her。 Out alas! she's cold;
Her blood is settled; and her joints are stiff; Life and these lips have long
been separated。 Death lies on her like an untimely frost Upon the sweetest
flower of all the field。 Nurse。 O lamentable day! Mother。 O woful time!
Cap。 Death; that hath ta'en her hence to make me wail; Ties up my tongue
and will not let me speak。
Enter Friar 'Laurence' and the County 'Paris'; with Musicians。
Friar。 Come; is the bride ready to go to church? Cap。 Ready to go; but
never to return。 O son; the night before thy wedding day Hath Death lain
with thy wife。 See; there she lies; Flower as she was; deflowered by him。
Death is my son…in…law; Death is my heir; My daughter he hath wedded。 I
will die And leave him all。 Life; living; all is Death's。 Par。 Have I thought

ROMEO AND JULIET
long to see this morning's face; And doth it give me such a sight as this?
Mother。 Accurs'd; unhappy; wretched; hateful day! Most miserable hour
that e'er time saw In lasting labour of his pilgrimage! But one; poor one;
one poor and loving child; But one thing to rejoice and solace in; And
cruel Death hath catch'd it from my sight! Nurse。 O woe? O woful; woful;
woful day! Most lamentable day; most woful day That ever ever I did yet
behold! O day! O day! O day! O hateful day! Never was seen so black a
day as this。 O woful day! O woful day! Par。 Beguil'd; divorced; wronged;
spited; slain! Most detestable Death; by thee beguil'd; By cruel cruel thee
quite overthrown! O love! O life! not life; but love in death Cap。 Despis'd;
distressed; hated; martyr'd; kill'd! Uncomfortable time; why cam'st thou
now To murther; murther our solemnity? O child! O child! my soul; and
not my child! Dead art thou; dead! alack; my child is dead; And with my
child my joys are buried! Friar。 Peace; ho; for shame! Confusion's cure
lives not In these confusions。 Heaven and yourself Had part in this fair
maid! now heaven hath all; And all the better is it for the maid。 Your part
in her you could not keep from death; But heaven keeps his part in eternal
life。 The most you sought was her promotion; For 'twas your heaven she
should be advanc'd; And weep ye now; seeing she is advanc'd Above the
clouds; as high as heaven itself? O; in this love; you love your child so ill
That you run mad; seeing that she is well。 She's not well married that lives
married long; But she's best married that dies married young。 Dry up your
tears and stick your rosemary On this fair corse; and; as the custom is; In
all her best array bear her to church; For though fond nature bids us all
lament; Yet nature's tears are reason's merriment。 Cap。 All things that we
ordained festival Turn from their office to black funeral… Our instruments
to melancholy bells; Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast; Our solemn
hymns to sullen dirges change; Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse;
And all things change them to the contrary。 Friar。 Sir; go you in; and;
madam; go with him; And go
