_Jul._ The tears have got small victory by that; 30 For it was bad enough before their spite. _Par._ Thou wrong'st it more than tears with that report. _Jul._ That is no slander, sir, which is a truth,[1183] And what I spake, I spake it to my face.[1184] _Par._ Thy face is mine, and thou hast slander'd it. 35 _Jul._ It may be so, for it is not mine own. Are you at leisure, holy father, now; Or shall I come to you at evening mass? _Fri. L._ My leisure serves me, pensive daughter, now. My lord, we must entreat the time alone.[1185] 40 _Par._ God shield I should disturb devotion![1186] Juliet, on Thursday early will I rouse ye:[1187] Till then, adieu, and keep this holy kiss.[1187][1188] [_Exit._ _Jul._ O, shut the door, and when thou hast done so,[1189] Come weep with me; past hope, past cure, past help![1190] 45 _Fri. L._ Ah, Juliet, I already know thy grief;[1191] It strains me past the compass of my wits:[1192] I hear thou must, and nothing may prorogue it, On Thursday next be married to this county.[1193] _Jul._ Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this,[1194] 50 Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it: If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I'll help it presently.[1195] God join'd my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands; 55 And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo's seal'd,[1196] Shall be the label to another deed, Or my true heart with treacherous revolt Turn to another, this shall slay them both: Therefore, out of thy long-experienced time,[1197] 60 Give me some present counsel; or, behold, 'Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife Shall play the umpire, arbitrating that[1198] Which the commission of thy years and art[1199] Could to no issue of true honour bring. 65 Be not so long to speak; I long to die,[1200] If what thou speak'st speak not of remedy. _Fr. L._ Hold, daughter: I do spy a kind of hope, Which craves as desperate an execution[1201] As that is desperate which we would prevent. 70 If, rather than to marry County Paris, Thou hast the strength of will to slay thyself,[1202] Then is it likely thou wilt undertake[1203] A thing like death to chide away this shame, That copest with death himself to 'scape from it;[1204] 75 And, if thou darest, I'll give thee remedy.[1205]
