ROMEO AND JULIET
[ACT III.

Thou pout'st upon[C 1][E 1] thy fortune and thy love:
Take heed, take heed, for such die miserable.145
Go, get thee to thy love, as was decreed,
Ascend her chamber, hence and comfort her;
But look thou stay not till the watch be set,
For then thou canst not pass to Mantua;
Where thou shalt live till we can find a time150
To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends,
Beg pardon of the[C 2] prince, and call thee back
With twenty hundred thousand times more joy
Than thou went'st forth in lamentation.—
Go before, nurse: commend me to thy lady,155
And bid her hasten all the house to bed,
Which heavy sorrow makes them apt unto:
Romeo is coming.

Nurse. O Lord, I could have stay'd here all the[C 3] night
To hear good counsel: O, what learning is!160
My lord, I'll tell my lady you will come.
Rom. Do so, and bid my sweet prepare to chide.[C 4]
Nurse. Here, sir,[E 2] a ring she bid me give you, sir:[C 5]
Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late.[Exit.
Rom. How well my comfort is revived by this!165
Fri. Go hence. Good night; and here stands[E 3] all your state:
