Question
The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
By William Shakespeare
ACT III SCENE ii
[...]
Juliet.
[...]
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.— 25
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, 30
[Enter Nurse, with cords1]
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: Ay2, ay, the cords. 35
Juliet Ay me! What news? Why dost thou wring thy hands?
Nurse At, weraday!
3 He’s dead, he’s dead, he’s dead!
We are undone, lady, we are undone!
Alack the day! He’s gone, he’s killed, he’s dead!
Juliet Can heaven be so envious 40
Nurse Romeo can,
Though heaven cannot. O Romeo, Romeo!
Who ever would have thought? Romeo!
Juliet What devil art thou that dost torment me thus? 45
This torture should be roared in dismal hell.
Hath Romeo slain himself? Say thou but “Ay,”
[...]
Nurse O Tybalt, Tybalt, the best friend I had!
O courteous Tybalt! Honest gentleman!
That ever should live to see thee dead! 50
Juliet. What storm is this that blows so contrary4?
Is Romeo slaughter'd, and is Tybalt dead?
My dear-lov'd cousin, and my dearer lord?
Then, dreadful trumpet, sound the general doom!
For who is living if those two are gone?
