Romeo & Juliet: Viii 229-269

FRIAR LAURENCE
229 I will be brief, for my short date of breath
230 Is not so long as is a tedious tale.
231 Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet;
232 And she, there dead, that Romeo's faithful wife.
233 I married them; and their stol'n marriage-day
234 Was Tybalt's doomsday, whose untimely death
235 Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from the city,
236 For whom, and not for Tybalt, Juliet pined.
237 You, to remove that siege of grief from her,
238 Betroth'd and would have married her perforce
239 To County Paris: then comes she to me,
240 And, with wild looks, bid me devise some mean
241 To rid her from this second marriage,
242 Or in my cell there would she kill herself.
243 Then gave I her, so tutor'd by my art,
244 A sleeping potion; which so took effect
245 As I intended, for it wrought on her
246 The form of death: meantime I writ to Romeo,
247 That he should hither come as this dire night,
248 To help to take her from her borrow'd grave,
249 Being the time the potion's force should cease.
250 But he which bore my letter, Friar John,
251 Was stay'd by accident, and yesternight
252 Return'd my letter back. Then all alone
253 At the prefixed hour of her waking,
254 Came I to take her from her kindred's vault;
255 Meaning to keep her closely at my cell,
256 Till I conveniently could send to Romeo:
257 But when I came, some minute ere the time
258 Of her awaking, here untimely lay
259 The noble Paris and true Romeo dead.
260 She wakes; and I entreated her come forth,
261 And bear this work of heaven with patience:
262 But then a noise did scare me from the tomb;
263 And she, too desperate, would not go with me,
264 But, as it seems, did violence on herself.
265 All this I know; and to the marriage
266 Her nurse is privy: and, if aught in this
267 Miscarried by my fault, let my old life
268 Be sacrificed, some hour before his time,
269 Unto the rigour of severest law.
