18001326Fr:Romeo come forth, come forth thou fearfull man,

18021327Affliction is enamourd on thy parts,

18031328And thou art wedded to Calamitie.

18041330Rom:Father what newes, what is the Princes doome,

18061331What Sorrow craues acquaintance at our hands,

18071332Which yet we know not.

18081333Fr:Too familiar

18091334Is my yong sonne with such sowre companie:

18101335I bring thee tidings of the Princes doome.

18111336Rom.What lesse than doomes day is the Princes doome?

18131337Fr:A gentler iudgement vanisht from his lips,

18141338Not bodies death, but bodies banishment.

18151339Rom:Ha, Banished? be mercifull, say death:

18161340For Exile hath more terror in his lookes,

18171341Than death it selfe, doo not say Banishment.

18181342Fr:Hence from Verona art thou banished:

18191343Be patient, for the world is broad and wide.

18201344Rom:There is no world without Verona walls,

18211345But purgatorie, torture, hell itselfe.

18221346Hence banished, is banisht from the world:

18231347And world exilde is death. Calling death banishment,

18251348Thou cutst my head off with a golden axe,

18261349And smilest vpon the stroke that murders me.

18271350Fr:Oh monstrous sinne, O rude vnthankfulnes:

18281351Thy fault our law calls death, but the milde Prince

18291352(Taking thy part) hath rushd aside the law,

18301353And turnd that blacke word death to banishment:

18311354This is meere mercie, and thou seest it not.

18321355Rom:Tis torture and not mercie, heauen is heere

18331356Where Iuliet liues: and euerie cat and dog,

18341357And little mouse, euerie vnworthie thing

18351358Liue here in heauen, and may looke on her,

18361359But Romeo may not. More validitie,

18371360More honourable state, more courtship liues

18381361In carrion flyes, than Romeo: they may seaze

18391362On the white wonder of faire Iuliets skinne,

18401363And steale immortall kisses from her lips;

18451364But Romeo may not, he is banished.

18431365Flies may doo this, but I from this must flye.

18461366Oh Father hadst thou no strong poyson mixt,

18471367No sharpe ground knife, no present meane of death,

18481368Though nere so meane, but banishment

1848.11369To torture me withall: ah, banished.

18491370O Frier, the damned vse that word in hell:

18501371Howling attends it. How hadst thou the heart,

18511372Being a Diuine, a ghostly Confessor,

18521373A sinne absoluer, and my frend profest,

18531374To mangle me with that word, Banishment?

18541375Fr:Thou fond mad man, heare me but speake a word.

18551376Rom:O, thou wilt talke againe of Banishment.

18561377Fr:Ile giue thee armour to beare off this word,

18571378Aduersities sweete milke, philosophie,

18581379To comfort thee though thou be banished.

18591380Rom:Yet Banished? hang vp philosophie,

18601381Vnlesse philosophie can make a Iuliet,

18611382Displant a Towne, reuerse a Princes doome,

18621383It helpes not, it preuailes not, talke no more.

18631384Fr:O, now I see that madmen haue no eares.

18641385Rom:How should they, when that wise men haue no

18651386eyes.

18661387Fr:Let me dispute with thee of thy estate.

18671388Rom:Thou canst not speak of what thou dost not feele.

18681389Wert thou as young as I, Iuliet thy Loue,

18691390An houre but married, Tybalt murdred.

18701391Doting like me, and like me banished,

18711392Then mightst thou speake, then mightst thou teare thy

18721393hayre.

18731394And fall vpon the ground as I doe now,

18741395Taking the measure of an vnmade graue.

18761397Fr:Romeo arise, stand vp thou wilt be taken,

18771398I heare one knocke, arise and get thee gone.

1877.11399Nu:Hoe Fryer.

1877.21400Fr:Gods will what wilfulnes is this?

18921402Nur:Hoe Fryer open the doore,

1892.11403Fr:By and by I come. Who is there?

18991409drunke.

19001410Nur:Oh he is euen in my Mistresse case.

19011411Iust in her case. Oh wofull simpathy,

19021412Pitteous predicament, euen so lyes shee,

19031413Weeping and blubbring, blubbring and weeping:

19041414Stand vp, stand vp, stand and you be a man.

19051415For Iuliets sake, for her sake rise and stand,

19061416Why should you fall into so deep an O.

19071418Rom:Nurse.

19081419Nur:Ah sir, ah sir. Wel death's the end of all.

G Rom:

19091420Rom:Spakest thou of Iuliet, how is it with her?

19101421Doth she not thinke me an olde murderer,

19111422Now I haue stainde the childhood of her ioy,

19121423With bloud remou'd but little from her owne?

19131424Where is she? and how doth she? And what sayes

19141425My conceal'd Lady to our canceld loue?

19151426Nur:Oh she saith nothing, but weepes and pules,

19161427And now fals on her bed, now on the ground,

19171428And Tybalt cryes, and then on Romeo calles.

19191429Rom.As if that name shot from the deadly leuel of a gun

19201430Did murder her, as that names cursed hand

19211431Murderd her kinsman. Ah tell me holy Fryer

19221432In what vile part of this Anatomy

19231433Doth my name lye? Tell me that I may sacke

19241434The hatefull mansion?

1924.31437Nur:Ah?

19251438Fr:Hold, stay thy hand: art thou a man? thy forme

19261439Cryes out thou art, but thy wilde actes denote

19281440The vnresonable furyes of a beast.

19291441Vnseemely woman in a seeming man,

19301442Or ill beseeming beast in seeming both.

19311443Thou hast amaz'd me. By my holy order,

19321444I thought thy disposition better temperd,

19331445Hast thou slaine Tybalt? wilt thou slay thy selfe?

19341446And slay thy Lady too, that liues in thee?

19521447Rouse vp thy spirits, thy Lady Iuliet liues,

19531448For whose sweet sake thou wert but lately dead:

19541449There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee,

19551450But thou sluest Tybalt, there art thou happy too.

19581451A packe of blessings lights vpon thy backe,

19591452Happines Courts thee in his best array:

19601453But like a misbehaude and sullen wench

19611454Thou frownst vpon thy Fate that smilles on thee.

19621455Take heede, take heede, for such dye miserable.

19631456Goe get thee to thy loue as was decreed:

19641457Ascend her Chamber Window, hence and comfort her,

19651458But looke thou stay not till the watch be set:

19691462Which heauy sorrow makes them apt vnto.

19921478It were a griefe so breefe to part with thee.
