第37章

This dagger hath mista'en--for, lo, his house Is empty on the back of Montague,--And it mis-sheathed in my daughter's bosom! LADY CAPULET O me! this sight of death is as a bell, That warns my old age to a sepulchre.

Enter MONTAGUE and others PRINCE Come, Montague; for thou art early up, To see thy son and heir more early down.MONTAGUE Alas, my liege, my wife is dead to-night;Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath:What further woe conspires against mine age? PRINCE Look, and thou shalt see.MONTAGUE O thou untaught! what manners is in this?

To press before thy father to a grave? PRINCE Seal up the mouth of outrage for a while, Till we can clear these ambiguities, And know their spring, their head, their true descent;And then will I be general of your woes, And lead you even to death: meantime forbear, And let mischance be slave to patience.

Bring forth the parties of suspicion.FRIAR LAURENCE I am the greatest, able to do least, Yet most suspected, as the time and place Doth make against me of this direful murder;And here I stand, both to impeach and purge Myself condemned and myself excused.PRINCE Then say at once what thou dost know in this.FRIAR LAURENCE I will be brief, for my short date of breath Is not so long as is a tedious tale.

Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet;And she, there dead, that Romeo's faithful wife:I married them; and their stol'n marriage-day Was Tybalt's dooms-day, whose untimely death Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from the city, 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 County Paris: then comes she to me, And, with wild looks, bid me devise some mean To rid her from this second marriage, Or in my cell there would she kill herself.

Then gave I her, so tutor'd by my art, A sleeping potion; which so took effect As I intended, for it wrought on her The form of death: meantime I writ to Romeo, That he should hither come as this dire night, To help to take her from her borrow'd grave, Being the time the potion's force should cease.

But he which bore my letter, Friar John, Was stay'd by accident, and yesternight Return'd my letter back.Then all alone At the prefixed hour of her waking, Came I to take her from her kindred's vault;Meaning to keep her closely at my cell, Till I conveniently could send to Romeo:But when I came, some minute ere the time Of her awaking, here untimely lay The noble Paris and true Romeo dead.

She wakes; and I entreated her come forth, And bear this work of heaven with patience:But then a noise did scare me from the tomb;And she, too desperate, would not go with me, But, as it seems, did violence on herself.

All this I know; and to the marriage 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 law.PRINCE We still have known thee for a holy man.

Where's Romeo's man? what can he say in this? BALTHASAR I brought my master news of Juliet's death;And then in post he came from Mantua To this same place, to this same monument.

This letter he early bid me give his father, And threatened me with death, going in the vault, I departed not and left him there.PRINCE Give me the letter; I will look on it.

Where is the county's page, that raised the watch?

Sirrah, what made your master in this place? PAGE He came with flowers to strew his lady's grave;And bid me stand aloof, and so I did:Anon comes one with light to ope the tomb;And by and by my master drew on him;

And then I ran away to call the watch.PRINCE This letter doth make good the friar's words, Their course of love, the tidings of her death:And here he writes that he did buy a poison Of a poor 'pothecary, and therewithal Came to this vault to die, and lie 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.CAPULET O brother Montague, give me thy hand:This is my daughter's jointure, for no more Can I demand.MONTAGUE But I can give thee more:For I will raise her statue in pure gold;That while Verona by that name is known, There shall no figure at such rate be set As that of true and faithful Juliet.CAPULET As rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie;Poor sacrifices of our enmity! PRINCE A glooming peace this morning with it brings;The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
