What if it be a poison, which the friar Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead, 25 Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd, Because he married me before to Romeo? I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not, For he hath still been tried a holy man.[1275] How if, when I am laid into the tomb, 30 I wake before the time that Romeo Come to redeem me? there's a fearful point.[1276] Shall I not then be stifled in the vault,[1277] To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,[1278] And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?[1279] 35 Or, if I live, is it not very like,[1280] The horrible conceit of death and night, Together with the terror of the place,[1281] As in a vault, an ancient receptacle, Where for this many hundred years the bones[1282] 40 Of all my buried ancestors are pack'd; Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth, Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say, At some hours in the night spirits resort; Alack, alack, is it not like that I[1283] 45 So early waking, what with loathsome smells And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth,[1284] That living mortals hearing them run mad: O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,[1285] Environed with all these hideous fears?[1286] 50 And madly play with my forefathers' joints?[1287] And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud? And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone,[1288] As with a club, dash out my desperate brains? O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost 55 Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body[1289] Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay![1289][1290] Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.[1291] [_She falls upon her bed, within the curtains._[1292] SCENE IV. _Hall in Capulet's house._[1293] _Enter_ LADY CAPULET _and_ Nurse.[1294] _La. Cap._ Hold, take these keys, and fetch more spices, nurse.[1295] _Nurse._ They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.[1296] _Enter_ CAPULET.[1297] _Cap._ Come, stir, stir, stir! the second cock hath crow'd,[1298] The curfew-bell hath rung, 'tis three o'clock:[1299] Look to the baked meats, good Angelica: 5 Spare not for cost.[1300][1301] _Nurse._ Go, you cot-quean, go,[1301] Get you to bed; faith, you'll be sick to-morrow For this night's watching. _Cap._ No, not a whit: what! I have watch'd ere now[1302] All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.[1303] 10 _La. Cap._ Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time; But I will watch you from such watching now. [_Exeunt Lady Capulet and Nurse._[1304]
