Put[C 1][E 1] not another sin upon my head By urging me to fury: O, be gone! By heaven, I love thee better than myself, For I come hither arm'd against myself:65 Stay not, be gone; live, and hereafter say A madman's mercy bid[C 2] thee run away.

Par.	I do defy thy conjurations[C 3][E 2] And apprehend[C 4] thee for a felon here.

Rom.	Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy!70[They fight.[C 5]

Page.[C 6]

O Lord, they fight! I will go call the watch.[E 3][Exit.[C 7]

Par.	O, I am slain!—[Falls[C 8]] If thou be merciful, Open the tomb, lay me with Juliet.[Dies.[C 9]

Rom.

In faith, I will.—Let me peruse this face: Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris!75 What said my man when my betossed soul Did not attend him as we rode? I think He told me Paris should have married Juliet: Said he not so? or did I dream it so? Or am I mad, hearing him talk of Juliet,80 To think it was so?—O, give me thy hand, One writ with me in sour misfortune's book![C 10]
