JULIET: |
Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, |
Towards Phoebus' lodging: such a wagoner |
As Phaethon would whip you to the west, |
And bring in cloudy night immediately. |
Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, |
That runaway's eyes may wink and Romeo |
Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. |
Lovers can see to do their amorous rites |
By their own beauties; or, if love be blind, |
It best agrees with night. Come, civil night, |
Thou sober-suited matron, all in black, |
And learn me how to lose a winning match, |
Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods: |
Hood my unmann'd blood, bating in my cheeks, |
With thy black mantle; till strange love, grown bold, |
Think true love acted simple modesty. |
Come, night; come, Romeo; come, thou day in night; |
For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night |
Whiter than new snow on a raven's back. |
Come, gentle night, come, loving, black-brow'd night, |
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die, |
Take him and cut him out in little stars, |
And he will make the face of heaven so fine |
That all the world will be in love with night |
And pay no worship to the garish sun. |
O, I have bought the mansion of a love, |
But not possess'd it, and, though I am sold, |
Not yet enjoy'd: so tedious is this day |
As is the night before some festival |
To an impatient child that hath new robes |
And may not wear them. O, here comes my nurse, |
And she brings news; and every tongue that speaks |
But Romeo's name speaks heavenly eloquence. |
Now, nurse, what news? What hast thou there? the cords |
That Romeo bid thee fetch? |
Nurse: |
Ay, ay, the cords. |
JULIET: |
Ay me! what news? why dost thou wring thy hands? |
Nurse: |
Ah, well-a-day! he's dead, he's dead, he's dead! |
We are undone, lady, we are undone! |
Alack the day! he's gone, he's kill'd, he's dead! |
JULIET: |
Can heaven be so envious? |
Nurse: |
Romeo can, |
Though heaven cannot: O Romeo, Romeo! |
Who ever would have thought it? Romeo! |
JULIET: |
What devil art thou, that dost torment me thus? |
This torture should be roar'd in dismal hell. |
Hath Romeo slain himself? say thou but 'I,' |
And that bare vowel 'I' shall poison more |
Than the death-darting eye of cockatrice: |
I am not I, if there be such an I; |
Or those eyes shut, that make thee answer 'I.' |
If he be slain, say 'I'; or if not, no: |
Brief sounds determine of my weal or woe. |
Nurse: |
I saw the wound, I saw it with mine eyes,-- |
God save the mark!--here on his manly breast: |
A piteous corse, a bloody piteous corse; |
Pale, pale as ashes, all bedaub'd in blood, |
All in gore-blood; I swounded at the sight. |
JULIET: |
O, break, my heart! poor bankrupt, break at once! |
To prison, eyes, ne'er look on liberty! |
Vile earth, to earth resign; end motion here; |
And thou and Romeo press one heavy bier! |
Nurse: |
O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had! |
O courteous Tybalt! honest gentleman! |
That ever I should live to see thee dead! |
JULIET: |
What storm is this that blows so contrary? |
Is Romeo slaughter'd, and is Tybalt dead? |
My dear-loved cousin, and my dearer lord? |
Then, dreadful trumpet, sound the general doom! |
For who is living, if those two are gone? |
Nurse: |
Tybalt is gone, and Romeo banished; |
Romeo that kill'd him, he is banished. |
JULIET: |
O God! did Romeo's hand shed Tybalt's blood? |
