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。 I am the greatest; able to do least; Yet most suspected; as 

the   time   and   place   Doth   make   against   me;   of   this   direful   murther; And 

here   I   stand;   both   to   impeach   and   purge   Myself   condemned   and   myself 

excus'd。 Prince。 Then say it once what thou dost know in this。 Friar。 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     doomsday;       whose     untimely     death     Banish'd     the   new…made 

bridegroom from this city; For whom; and not for Tybalt; Juliet pin'd。 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 tutored 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 borrowed 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 sacrific'd;  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? Bal。 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 threat'ned me with death; going in the 

vault; If I departed not and left him there。 Prince。 Give me the letter。 I will 

look on it。 Where is the County's page that rais'd the watch? Sirrah; what 

made your master in this place? Boy。 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; 

Montage;   See   what   a   scourge   is   laid   upon   your   hate;   That   heaven   finds 

means to kill your joys with love! And I; for winking at you; discords too; 

Have lost a brace of kinsmen。 All are punish'd。 Cap。 O brother Montague; 

give   me   thy   hand。   This   is   my   daughter's   jointure;   for   no   more   Can   I 

demand。 Mon。 But I can give thee more; For I will raise her Statue in pure 

gold; That whiles Verona by that name is known; There shall no figure at 

such   rate   be   set   As   that   of   true   and   faithful   Juliet。   Cap。   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。 Exeunt omnes。 

    THE END
