30933043And know their spring, their head, their true discent,

30943044And then will I be generall of your woes,

30953045And leade you euen to death, meane time forbeare,

30963046And let mischance be slaue to patience,

30973047Bring foorth the parties of suspition.

30983048Frier. I am the greatest able to do least,

30993049Yet most suspected as the time and place

31003050Doth make against me of this direfull murther:

31013051And heere I stand both to impeach and purge

31023052My selfe condemned, and my selfe excusde.

31033053Prin. Then say at once what thou dost know in this?

31043054Frier. I will be briefe, for my short date of breath

31053055Is not so long as is a tedious tale.

31063056Romeo there dead, was husband to that Iuliet,

31073057And she there dead, thats Romeos faithfull wife:

31083058I married them, and their stolne marriage day

31093059Was Tibalts doomesday, whose vntimely death

31103060Banisht the new-made Bridegroome from this Citie,

31143064To Countie Paris. Then comes she to me,

31153065And with wild lookes bid me deuise some meane

31163066To rid her from this second mariage:

31173067Or in my Cell there would she kill her selfe.

31183068Then gaue I her (so tuterd by my art)

31193069A sleeping potion, which so tooke effect

31203070As I intended, for it wrought on her

31213071The forme of death, meane time I writ to Romeo

31223072That he should hither come as this dire night

31233073To help to take her from her borrowed graue,

31243074Being the time the potions force should cease.

31253075But he which bore my letter, Frier Iohn,

31263076Was stayed by accident, and yesternight

31273077Returnd my letter back, then all alone

31283078At the prefixed hower of her waking,
