Enter Romeo, Frier.
| Rom. | Now Father Laurence, in thy holy grant Consists the good of me and Iuliet. |
| Fr. | Without more words I will doo all I may, To make you happie if in me it lye. |
| Rom. | This morning here she pointed we should meet, And consumate those never parting bands, Witnes of our harts love by ioyning hands, And come she will. |

| Rom. | My Iuliet welcome. As doo waking eyes (Cloasd in Nights mysts) attend the frolicke Day, So Romeo hath expected Iuliet, And thou art come. |

| Fr. | Come wantons, come, the stealing houres do passe |
