Summary, Analysis, and Original Text by Scene

Act V: Scene 3

JULIET.
Yea, noise? — Then I'll be brief. — O happy dagger!

[Snatching Romeo's dagger.]

This is thy sheath [stabs herself]; there rest, and let me die.

[Falls on Romeo's body and dies.]

[Enter Watch, with the Page of Paris.]

Page.
This is the place; there, where the torch doth burn.

1 WATCH.
The ground is bloody; search about the churchyard:
Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach.

[Exeunt some of the Watch.]

Pitiful sight! here lies the county slain; —
And Juliet bleeding; warm, and newly dead,
Who here hath lain this two days buried. —
Go, tell the prince; — run to the Capulets, —
Raise up the Montagues, — some others search: —

[Exeunt others of the Watch.]

We see the ground whereon these woes do lie;
But the true ground of all these piteous woes
We cannot without circumstance descry.

[Re-enter some of the Watch with Balthasar.]

2 WATCH.
Here's Romeo's man; we found him in the churchyard.
