Death is my son-in- law, Death is my heir,
My daughter he hath wedded. I will die,
And leave him all– life, living, all is Death’s.

Marry and amen, how sound is she asleep!
I needs must wake her. Madam, madam, madam!

Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it.
If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help,
Do thou but call my resolution wise
And with this knife I’ll help it presently.
Juliet
Peace, ho, for shame! Confusion’s cure lives not
In these confusions. Heaven and yourself
Had part in this fair maid– now heaven hath all,
And all the better is it for the maid.
Frair
See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.
And I, for winking at your discords too,
Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished.
Prince
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
Thou art not conquered. Beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.
Romeo
Her body sleeps in Capels’ monument.
And her immortal part with angels lives.
I saw her laid low in her kindred’s vault
And presently took post to tell it you.

O, I am slain! If thou be merciful.
Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet.
Paris
Yea, noise? Then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger!
This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die.
Juliet
Why art thou yet so fair? Shall I believe
That unsubstantial Death is amorous,
And that the lean abhorred monster keeps
Thee here in dark to be his paramour?
Rom
