Romeo & Juliet Act 5 Flashcards
I sell thee poison. Thou hast sold me none.
~ROMEO
I sell you poison (money). You have sold me none (poison).
Your looks are pale and wild and do import
Some misadventure.
~BALTHASAR
Your looks are pale and wild and mean that
Some awful event is about to happen
The letter was not nice, but full of charge
Of dear import; and the neglecting of it
May do much danger.
~FRIAR LAURENCE
The letter was not unimportant, but full of
serious business; And neglecting it
May do a lot of danger
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man.
~ROMEO
Romeo does not yet recognise Paris, don’t tempt me
Put not another sin upon my head
By urging me to fury.
~ROMEO
Don’t make me so angry
That I commit another sin by killing you
This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die.
~JULIET
My body will be your holder
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 kinsman. All are punished.
~PRINCE
All happiness has been destroyed by love and by the two families
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
~PRINCE
There was never a sadder story
Than Romeo and Juliet’s.
