Summary, Analysis, and Original Text by Scene

Act V: Scene 3

PRINCE.
We still have known thee for a holy man. —
Where's Romeo's man? what can he say in this?

BALTHASAR.
I brought my master news of Juliet's death;
And then in post he came from Mantua
To this same place, to this same monument.
This letter he early bid me give his father;
And threaten'd me with death, going in the vault,
If I departed not, and left him there.

PRINCE.
Give me the letter, — I will look on it. —
Where is the county's page that rais'd the watch? —
Sirrah, what made your master in this place?

Boy.
He came with flowers to strew his lady's grave;
And bid me stand aloof, and so I did:
Anon comes one with light to ope the tomb;
And by-and-by my master drew on him;
And then I ran away to call the watch.
