Front 13

Come, gentle night; come, loving black-browed night.
Give me my Romeo, and when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with the night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Back 13

Speaking: Juliet

Not body's death, but body's banishment.

Ha, banishment? Be merciful, say "death,"

Where Juliet lives, and every cat and dog
And little mouse, and every unworthy thing,
Live here in heaven and may look on her,
But Romeo may not.

As one dead in the bottom of a tomb.

Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua

To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
And there die strangled ere my Romeo come?

"An if a man did need a poison now,
Whose sale is present death in Mantua,
Here lies a caitiff wretch would sell it him."

Let me have
a dram of poison, such soon-spending gear
As will disperse itself through all the veins,
That the life-weary taker may fall dead,
And that trunk may be discharged of breath
As violently as hasty powder fired

Doing more murder in this loathsome world
Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.

Come, cordial and not poison, go with me
To Juliet's grave, for there must I use thee

Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.

Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks
