hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.-

To help me after ? — I will kiss thy lips ;
Haply, some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make me die with a restorative.

Some Juliet, and some Paris; and all run,
With open outcry, toward our monument.

And Romeo dead; and Juliet, dead before,
Warm and new kill'd.

To this same place, to this same monument.
This letter he early bid me give his father ;
And threaten'd me with death, going in the vault,

Can I demand.

Mon. But I can give thee more :
For I will raise her statue in pure gold;
That, while Verona by that name is known,
There shall no figure at such rate be set,
As that of true and faithful Juliet.

Cap. As rich shall Romeo by his lady lie;
Pour sacrifices of our enmity!
Prince. A glooming peace this morning with it

Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished : For never was a story of inore wue Than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Exeunt,
