Romeo and Juliet Page #9

---

- (DOOR OPENS)

- Who's there? Who's within?

Just one kiss,

in case some venom

lingers on your lips.

(SIGHS)

Your mouth is warm.

FRIAR LAURENCE:

I will explain.

The boy has come here

at my bidding.

Somebody's coming.

Then I'll be brief.

Oh, happy dagger.

This is thy sheath.

(GROANS)

There rust...

...and let me die.

FRIAR LAURENCE:

Patience now.

We should not disturb

this holy quiet.

- Show me the way!

- Very well, very well.

If you insist.

(PANTING)

(GASPS)

We know now

how this sorrow came about,

and pardon all the players

in their end.

Their own forbidden love

did murder them.

Yet can we take a lesson

from their deaths.

Capulet, Montague.

See what a scourge

is laid upon your hate,

that heaven finds means

to kill your joy with love.

Oh, dearest Montague.

Give me your hand.

(CRYING)

PRINCE:
The sun, for sorrow,

will not show his head.

And join with all

in grieving for the dead.

For never was a story

of more woe than this,

of Juliet and her Romeo.
