23442306On Thursday next be married to this Countie.

23452307Iu. Tell me not Frier, that thou hearest of this,

23462308Vnlesse thou tell me, how I may preuent it:

23472309If in thy wisedome thou canst giue no helpe,

23482310Do thou but call my resolution wise,

23492311And with this knife ile helpe it presently.

23502312God ioynd my heart, and Romeos thou our hands

23512313And ere this hand by thee to Romeos seald:

23522314Shall be the Labell to an other deed,

23532315Or my true heart with trecherous reuolt,

23542316Turne to an other, this shall sley them both:

23552317Therefore out of thy long experienst time,

23562318Giue me some present counsell, or behold

23572319Twixt my extreames and me, this bloudie knife

23582320Shall play the vmpeere, arbitrating that,

23592321Which the commission of thy yeares and art,

23602322Could to no issue of true honour bring:

23612323Be not so long to speake, I long to die,

23622324If what thou speakst, speake not of remedie.

23632325Fri. Hold daughter, I do spie a kind of hope,

23642326Which craues as desperate an execution,

23652327As that is desperate which we would preuent.

23662328If rather then to marrie Countie Paris

23672329Thou hast the strength of will to stay thy selfe,

23682330Then is it likely thou wilt vndertake

23692331A thing like death to chide away this shame,

23702332That coapst with death, himselfe to scape from it:

23712333And if thou darest, Ile giue thee remedie.

23722334Iu. Oh bid me leape, rather then marrie Paris,

23732335From of the battlements of any Tower,

23742336Or walke in theeuish wayes, or bid me lurke

23752337Where Serpents are: chaine me with roaring Beares,

23762338Or hide me nightly in a Charnel house,

23772339Orecouerd quite with dead mens ratling bones,

23782340With reekie shanks and yealow chapels sculls:

23792341Or bid me go into a new made graue,

23802342And hide me with a dead man in his,
