Romeo and Juliet

by William Shakespeare

Juliet.

O comfortable friar! where is my lord?—

I do remember well where I should be,

And there I am.—Where is my Romeo? [Noise within.]

Friar Lawrence.

I hear some noise.—Lady, come from that nest

Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep;

A greater power than we can contradict

Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.

Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead,

And Paris too. Come, I’ll dispose of thee

Among a sisterhood of holy nuns.

Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;

Come, go, good Juliet. [Noise again.]—I dare no longer stay.

Juliet.

Go, get thee hence, for I will not away. [Exit Friar Lawrence.]

What’s here? a cup, clos’d in my true love’s hand?

Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.—

O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop

To help me after?—I will kiss thy lips;

Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,

To make me die with a restorative. [Kisses him.]

Thy lips are warm.

1 Watch. [Within]

Lead, boy; which way?

Juliet.

Yea, noise? then I’ll be brief.—O happy dagger! [Snatching Romeo’s dagger.]

This is thy sheath [Stabs herself]; there rest, and let me die.

[Falls on Romeo’s body, and dies.]

Enter Watch, with the Page of Paris

Page.

This is the place; there, where the torch doth burn.

1 Watch.

The ground is bloody; search about the churchyard.

Go, some of you, whoe’er you find attach.—

[Exeunt some.]
