English drama
_Nurse._ [_Within_] Let me come in, and you shall know my errand;[952]
I come from Lady Juliet.
_Fri. L._ Welcome, then.[953] 80
_Enter_ Nurse.
_Nurse._ O holy friar, O, tell me, holy friar,
Where is my lady's lord, where's Romeo?[954]
_Fri. L._ There on the ground, with his own tears made drunk.[955]
_Nurse._ O, he is even in my mistress' case,[956]
Just in her case!
_Fr. L._ O woeful sympathy![957] 85
Piteous predicament![957]
_Nurse._ Even so lies she,[958]
Blubbering and weeping, weeping and blubbering.
Stand up, stand up; stand, an you be a man:[959][960]
For Juliet's sake, for her sake, rise and stand;[959]
Why should you fall into so deep an O?[961] 90
_Rom._ Nurse![961]
_Nurse._ Ah sir! ah sir! Well, death's the end of all.[962]
_Rom._ Spakest thou of Juliet? how is it with her?[963]
Doth she not think me an old murderer,[964]
Now I have stain'd the childhood of our joy[965] 95
With blood removed but little from her own?
Where is she? and how doth she? and what says[966]
My conceal'd lady to our cancell'd love?[967]
_Nurse._ O, she says nothing, sir, but weeps and weeps;
And now falls on her bed; and then starts up, 100
And Tybalt calls; and then on Romeo cries,[968]
And then down falls again.
_Rom._ As if that name,[969]
Shot from the deadly level of a gun,[969][970]
Did murder her; as that name's cursed hand
Murder'd her kinsman. O, tell me, friar, tell me,[971] 105
In what vile part of this anatomy[972]
Doth my name lodge? tell me, that I may sack
The hateful mansion.[973] [_Drawing his sword._
