JULIET: What if this mixture do not work at all? Shall I be married then tomarrow morning?

GLORIA: What, daughter are you busy? Need you my help?

JULIET: No, madam. We have called such necessaries as our behoveful for our state tomarrow. so please you, let me now be left alone, and let the nurse this night sit up with you. for I am sure you have your hands full in all this so sudden business.

GLORIA: Get thee to be and rest, for thou has need.

JULIET: Farewell. God knows when we shall meet again.

GLORIA: Goodnight.

JULIET: Romeo, I drink to thee.

FATHER LAWRENCE: As the custom is, in all her best array, bear her to church.

ROMEO: And all this day an unaccustomed spirit lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts. I dreampt my lady came and found me dead and breathed such life with kisses in my lips that I revived and was an emperor. Ah me, how sweet is love itself possesed when but love's shadow's are so rich in joy. News from Verona. How now, Balthasar?! Dost thou not bring me letters from the Priest? How doth my lady? Is my Father well? How doth my lady Juliet? For nothing can be ill if she be well.

BALTHASAR: If she is well then nothing can be ill. Her body rests in Capel's monument, and her immortal part with the angel's lives. I saw her laid low. Pardon me for bringing these ill news.

ROMEO: Then I defy you, stars! JULIET! JULIET! I will hence tonight.

BALTHASAR: Have patience!

ROMEO: Leave Me!

BALTHASAR: Your looks are pale and wild and do import some misadventure.

ROMEO: Tush, thou art decieved. Hast thou no letters to me from the priest? No matter. Well, Juliet, I will lie with thee tonight. I will hence tonight.

POLICE OFFICER: Romeo is within Verona Wall's.

ROMEO: Let me have a dram of poision, such soom speeding gear, as will disperce itself through all the veins, that the life weary taker may fall dead

GUY WITH POISON: Such mortal drugs I have, but Verona's law is death to any that utters them.

ROMEO: The world is not thy friend, nor the worlds law. Then be not poor, but break it, and take this.

GUY WITH POISON: My poverty, but not my will concents.

ROMEO: I pay thy poverty, And not thy will.

GUY WITH POISON: Drink it off and, if you had the strength of twenty men it would dispatch you straight.

ROMEO: Here is my gold. Worse poision to men's souls, than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.

FATHER LAWRENCE: The letter was of dear import.

CLERK: I could not send it nor get a messenger to bring it thee.

FATHER LAWRENCE: The neglecting it may do much damage.

ROMEO: Live and be prosperous; and farewell good fellow.

BALTHASAR: Then I'll leave thee.

ROMEO: Tempt not a desperate man!

CAPTAIN PRINCE: Hold! Hold!
