Quotes:
“How doth my lady? Is my father well? How doth my Juliet? That I ask again,
For nothing can be ill if she be well.”
“Then she is well and nothing can be ill. Her body sleeps in Capels’ monument,
And her immortal part with angels lives.”
“My poverty, but not my will, consents.”
“Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death, Gorged with the dearest morsel of the earth,
Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open, And in despite I’ll cram thee with more food.”
“And here is come to do some villainous shame To the dead bodies. I will apprehend him.”
“Come, I’ll dispose of thee Among a sisterhood of holy nuns.”
“Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.- O churl, drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after! I will kiss his lips…”
“Alas, my liege, my wife is dead tonight. Grief of my son’s exile hath stopped her breath.
What further woe conspires against mine age?”
“See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love, And I, for wrinkling at your discords too, Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished.”
