And thou art wedded to calamity.

Father, what news? What is the Princes doom?

5 What sorrow craves acquaintance at my hand

That I yet know not?

Is my dear son with such sour company.

I bring thee tidings of the Princes doom.

AFRIR CENAERLW

10 A gentler judgment vanished from his lips:

Not bodys death, but bodys banishment.

ARFIR RCNEWELA

He dema a gentrle iceidsno. uYo town ide, btu llyou be sdhiebna ormf het city.

ROMEO

Ha, banishment! Be merciful, say death,

For exile hath more terror in his look,

Much more than death. Do not say banishment.

ROOEM

Ha, tnihabmnse? Be cmlerfiu nda ysa tehda. ieExl is chmu rewos htna hdtae. ontD sya beainhmnst.

15 Hence from Verona art thou banishd.

Be patient, for the world is broad and wide.

RIARF WNLREACE

ROMEO

There is no world without Verona walls

But purgatory, torture, hell itself.

Hence banishd is banished from the world,

Is death mistermed. Calling death banishment,

Thou cuttst my head off with a golden ax

And smilest upon the stroke that murders me.

hmeBtnisna is dateh by eht grnow enma. gCanill dhtea eihsnmbnta is ilek tingcut ffo my aehd iwth a dloneg ax nad inismlg iewlh Im neibg rmededru.

FRIAR LAWRENCE

O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness!

25 Thy fault our law calls death, but the kind Prince,

Taking thy part, hath rushed aside the law,

And turned that black word death to banishment.

This is dear mercy, and thou seest it not.

RFIRA NCWALERE

Oh, yledda nsi! Oh, redu nda autnlnfukh ybo! oYu mditctmoe a rimec htat is nbulieahsp by death, tbu oru dkni cPneri okot yyptashm on uoy dan gnodire the wla hwen he ssiduttebtu tbmnsihean rof htaed. shiT is ikdn meryc, and uyo otnd erziael it.

ROMEO

Tis torture and not mercy. Heaven is here,

30 Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog

And little mouse, every unworthy thing,

Live here in heaven and may look on her,

But Romeo may not. More validity,

More honorable state, more courtship lives

35 In carrion flies than Romeo. They may seize

On the white wonder of dear Juliets hand

And steal immortal blessing from her lips,

Who even in pure and vestal modesty,

Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.

40 But Romeo may not. He is banishd.

Flies may do this, but I from this must fly.

They are free men, but I am banishd.

And sayst thou yet that exile is not death?

Hadst thou no poison mixed, no sharp-ground knife,

45 No sudden mean of death, though neer so mean,

But banishd to kill me?Banishd!

O Friar, the damnd use that word in hell.

Howling attends it. How hast thou the heart,

Being a divine, a ghostly confessor,

50 A sin-absolver, and my friend professed,

To mangle me with that word banishd?

Unless philosophy can make a Juliet,

Displant a town, reverse a princes doom,

65 Wert thou as young as I, Juliet thy love,

An hour but married, Tybalt murderd,

Doting like me, and like me banishd,

Then mightst thou speak, then mightst thou tear thy hair

And fall upon the ground, as I do now,

70 Taking the measure of an unmade grave.

Spakest thou of Juliet? How is it with her?

Doth she not think me an old murderer,

95 Now I have stained the childhood of our joy

With blood removed but little from her own?

Where is she? And how doth she? And what says

My concealed lady to our canceled love?

As if that name,

Shot from the deadly level of a gun,

Did murder her, as that names cursed hand

105 Murdered her kinsman. O, tell me, Friar, tell me,

In what vile part of this anatomy

Doth my name lodge? Tell me, that I may sack

The hateful mansion. (draws his dagger)

FRIAR LAWRENCE

Hold thy desperate hand.

Art thou a man? Thy form cries out thou art.

110 Thy tears are womanish. Thy wild acts denote

The unreasonable fury of a beast.

Unseemly woman in a seeming man,

And ill-beseeming beast in seeming both!

Thou hast amazed me. By my holy order,

115 I thought thy disposition better tempered.

Hast thou slain Tybalt? Wilt thou slay thyself,

And slay thy lady that in thy life lives

By doing damnd hate upon thyself?

Why railst thou on thy birth, the heaven, and earth?

120 Since birth and heaven and earth, all three do meet

In thee at once, which thou at once wouldst lose?

Fie, fie, thou shamest thy shape, thy love, thy wit,

Which, like a usurer, aboundst in all

And usest none in that true use indeed

125 Which should bedeck thy shape, thy love, thy wit.

Thy noble shape is but a form of wax,

Digressing from the valor of a man;

Thy dear love sworn but hollow perjury,

Killing that love which thou hast vowed to cherish;

130 Thy wit, that ornament to shape and love,

Misshapen in the conduct of them both,

Like powder in a skill-less soldiers flask,

Is set afire by thine own ignorance;

And thou dismembered with thine own defence.

135 What, rouse thee, man! Thy Juliet is alive,

For whose dear sake thou wast but lately dead

There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee,

But thou slewst Tybaltthere art thou happy.

The law that threatened death becomes thy friend

140 And turns it to exilethere art thou happy.

A pack of blessings light upon thy back,

Happiness courts thee in her best array,

Ascend her chamber, hence, and comfort her.

But look thou stay not till the watch be set,

For then thou canst not pass to Mantua,

150 Where thou shalt live, till we can find a time

To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends,

Beg pardon of the Prince, and call thee back

And bid her hasten all the house to bed,

Which heavy sorrow makes them apt unto.
