I beseech thee, youth, Put not another sin upon my head, By urging me to fury: O, be gone! By heaven, I love thee better than myself For I come hither arm'd against myself: Stay not, be gone live, and hereafter say, A madman's mercy bade thee run away. Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man Fly hence, and leave me : think upon these gone Let them affright thee. ROMEO I must indeed and therefore came I hither. Why I descend into this bed of death, Is partly to behold my lady's face But chiefly to take thence from her dead finger A precious ring, a ring that I must use In dear employment: therefore hence, be gone: But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry In what I further shall intend to do, By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs: The time and my intents are savage-wild, More fierce and more inexorable far Than empty tigers or the roaring sea.Ĭomes forward Stop thy unhallow'd toil, vile Montague! Can vengeance be pursued further than death? Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee: Obey, and go with me for thou must die. Give me the light: upon thy life, I charge thee, Whate'er thou hear'st or seest, stand all aloof, And do not interrupt me in my course. Hold, take this letter early in the morning See thou deliver it to my lord and father. Retires Enter ROMEO and BALTHASAR, with a torch, mattock, & c ROMEO Give me that mattock and the wrenching iron.

What cursed foot wanders this way to-night, To cross my obsequies and true love's rite? What with a torch! muffle me, night, awhile. The Page whistles The boy gives warning something doth approach. Retires PARIS Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew,- O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones - Which with sweet water nightly I will dew, Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans: The obsequies that I for thee will keep Nightly shall be to strew thy grave and weep. PAGE I am almost afraid to stand alone Here in the churchyard yet I will adventure.
