Scene Eleven (Act Three, Scene Two) Flashcards
Alack the day, he’s gone, he’s kill’d, he’s dead!
Can heaven be so envious?
Gallop apace…..
Now Nurse, what news? Ay me, what news? Why dost thou wring thy hands?
Who ever would have thought it? Romeo!
What devil art thou that dost torment me thus? Hath Romeo slain himself?
That ever I should live to see thee dead.
What storm is this that blows so contrary? Is Romeo slaughter’d and is Tybalt dead?
Romeo that kill’d him, he is banished.
O God! Did Romeo’s hand shed Tybalt’s blood?
It did, it did, alas the day, it did.
O serpent heart his with a flowering face. Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical. O that deceit should dwell in such a gorgeous palace.
Shame come to Romeo!
Blister’d be thy tongue for such a wish!
Will you speak well of him that kill’d your cousin?
Shall I speak ill of him that is my husband? Ah, poor my lord, what tongue shall smooth thy name, when I, thy three hours’ wife, have mangled it? But wherefore villain did’st thou kill my cousin? That villain cousin would have kill’d my husband. Back, foolish tears, back to your native spring. My husband lives that Tybalt would have slain. Tybalt is dead, and Romeo banished. That one word banished hath slain ten thousand Tybalts. Romeo is banished. There is no end, no limit, measure, bound, in that one word’s death, no words can that one woe sound. Where is my father and mother Nurse?
Weeping and wailing over Tybalt’s corpse.
Come Nurse, I’ll to my wedding bed, and death not Romeo, take my maiden head.
Hoe to your chamber, I’ll find Romeo to comfort you. He is his in the friar’s cell.
I find him! Bid him come to take his last farewell!
