• Romeo and Juliet   SCENE III. A churchyard; in it a Monument belonging to the Capulets.

  Enter Paris, and his Page bearing flowers and a torch.PARIS.Give me thy torch, boy. Hence and stand aloof.Yet put it out, for I would not be seen.Under yond yew tree lay thee all along,Holding thy ear close to the hollow ground;So shall no foot upon the churchyard tread,Being loose, unfirm, with digging up of graves,But thou shalt hear it. Whistle then to me,As signal that thou hear’st something approach.Give me those flowers. Do as I bid thee, go.PAGE.[ Aside. ] I am almost afraid to stand aloneHere in the churchyard; yet I will adventure. [ Retires. ]PARIS.Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew.O woe, thy canopy is dust and stones,Which with sweet water nightly I will dew,Or wanting that, with tears distill’d by moans.The obsequies that I for thee will keep,Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep. [ The Page whistles. ]The boy gives warning something doth approach.What cursed foot wanders this way tonight,To cross my obsequies and true l

• Romeo and Juliet   SCENE II. Friar Lawrence’s Cell.

  Enter Friar John.FRIAR JOHN.Holy Franciscan Friar! Brother, ho! Enter Friar Lawrence.FRIAR LAWRENCE.This same should be the voice of Friar John.Welcome from Mantua. What says Romeo?Or, if his mind be writ, give me his letter.FRIAR JOHN.Going to find a barefoot brother out,One of our order, to associate me,Here in this city visiting the sick,And finding him, the searchers of the town,Suspecting that we both were in a houseWhere the infectious pestilence did reign,Seal’d up the doors, and would not let us forth,So that my speed to Mantua there was stay’d.FRIAR LAWRENCE.Who bare my letter then to Romeo?FRIAR JOHN.I could not send it,—here it is again,—Nor get a messenger to bring it thee,So fearful were they of infection.FRIAR LAWRENCE.Unhappy fortune! By my brotherhood,The letter was not nice, but full of charge,Of dear import, and the neglecting itMay do much danger. Friar John, go hence,Get me an iron crow and bring it straightUnto my cell.FRIAR JO

• Romeo and Juliet   ACT V. SCENE I. Mantua. A Street.

  Enter Romeo.ROMEO.If I may trust the flattering eye of sleep,My dreams presage some joyful news at hand.My bosom’s lord sits lightly in his throne;And all this day an unaccustom’d spiritLifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts.I dreamt my lady came and found me dead,—Strange dream, that gives a dead man leave to think!—And breath’d such life with kisses in my lips,That I reviv’d, and was an emperor.Ah me, how sweet is love itself possess’d,When but love’s shadows are so rich in joy. Enter Balthasar.News from Verona! How now, Balthasar?Dost thou not bring me letters from the Friar?How doth my lady? Is my father well?How fares my Juliet? That I ask again;For nothing can be ill if she be well.BALTHASAR.Then she is well, and nothing can be ill.Her body sleeps in Capel’s monument,And her immortal part with angels lives.I saw her laid low in her kindred’s vault,And presently took post to tell it you.O pardon me for bringing these ill news,Since you did l

Enter Lady Capulet.LADY CAPULET.What, are you busy, ho? Need you my help?JULIET.No, madam; we have cull’d such necessariesAs are behoveful for our state tomorrow.So please you, let me now be left alone,And let the nurse this night sit up with you,For I am sure you have your hands full allIn this so sudden business.LADY CAPULET.Good night.Get thee to bed and rest, for thou hast need.
