Hold Iuliet, hie thee home, get thee to bed, Let not thy Nurse lye with thee in thy Chamber: And when thou art alone, take thou this Violl, And this distilled Liquor drinke thou off: When presently through all thy veynes shall run A dull and heavie slumber, which shall seaze Each vitall spirit: for no Pulse shall keepe His naturall progresse, but surcease to beate: No signe of breath shall testifie thou livst. And in this borrowed likenes of shrunke death, Thou shalt remaine full two and fortie houres. And when thou art laid in thy Kindreds Vault, He send in haste to Mantua to thy Lord, And he shall come and take thee from thy grave.

Distrest, remediles, and unfortunate. O heavens, O nature, wherefore did you make me, To live so vile, so wretched as I shall.

Cap.	O heere she lies that was our hope, our joy, And being dead, dead sorrow nips us all.
