Summary, Analysis, and Original Text by Scene

Act V: Scene 3

1 WATCH.
Hold him in safety till the prince come hither.

[Re-enter others of the Watch with Friar Lawrence.]

3 WATCH.
Here is a friar, that trembles, sighs, and weeps:
We took this mattock and this spade from him
As he was coming from this churchyard side.

1 WATCH.
A great suspicion: stay the friar too.

[Enter the Prince and Attendants.]

PRINCE.
What misadventure is so early up,
That calls our person from our morning's rest?

[Enter Capulet, Lady Capulet, and others.]

CAPULET.
What should it be, that they so shriek abroad?

LADY CAPULET.
The people in the street cry Romeo,
Some Juliet, and some Paris; and all run,
With open outcry, toward our monument.

PRINCE.
What fear is this which startles in our ears?

1 WATCH.
Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain;
And Romeo dead; and Juliet, dead before,
Warm and new kill'd.
