For sweet discourses in our time[C 1] to come.

Jul.	O God! I have an ill-divining soul: Methinks I see thee, now[C 2] thou art below,[C 3][E 1] As one dead in the bottom of a tomb: Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

Rom.	And trust me, love, in my eye so do you: Dry sorrow[E 2] drinks our blood. Adieu, adieu!

[Exit.

Jul.	O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle:60 If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him That is renown'd for faith? Be fickle, fortune; For then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long, But send him back.

Lady Cap.

[Within.][C 4]Ho, daughter! are you up?

Jul.	Who is't that calls? is it[C 5] my lady mother?[C 6]65 Is she not down[E 3] so late, or up so early? What unaccustom'd cause procures[E 4] her hither?

Enter Lady Capulet.^{[C 7]}

Lady Cap.

Why, how now, Juliet!

Jul.	Madam, I am not well.

Lady Cap.

Evermore weeping for your cousin's death? What, wilt thou wash him from his grave with tears?70
