Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Prin_: Lets see the Letters, I will read them ouer.
Where is the Counties Boy that calld the Watch? 205
_Boy_: I brought my Master vnto _Juliets_ graue,
But one approaching, straight I calld my Master.
At last they fought, I ran to call the Watch.
And this is all that I can say or know.
_Prin_: These letters doe make good the Fryers wordes, 210
Come _Capolet_, and come olde _Mountagewe_.
Where are these enemies? see what hate hath done.
_Cap_: Come brother _Mountague_ giue me thy hand,
There is my daughters dowry: for now no more
Can I bestowe on her, thats all I haue. 215
_Moun_: But I will giue them more, I will erect
Her statue of pure golde:
That while _Verona_ by that name is knowne.
There shall no statue of such price be set,
As that of _Romeos_ loued _Iuliet_. 220
_Cap_: As rich shall _Romeo_ by his Lady lie.
Poore Sacrifices to our Enmitie.
_Prin_: A gloomie peace this day doth with it bring.
Come, let vs hence,
To haue more talke of these sad things. 225
Some shall be pardoned and some punished:
For nere was heard a Storie of more woe,
Than this of _Iuliet_ and her _Romeo_.
_FINIS._
