In the meantime, against thou shalt awake, Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift, And hither shall he come: and he and I Will watch thy waking, and that very night Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua. And this shall free thee from this present shame; If no inconstant toy, nor womanish fear, Abate thy valour in the acting it.

Hold; get you gone, be strong and prosperous In this resolve: I’ll send a friar with speed To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord.

Love give me strength! and strength shall help afford. Farewell, dear father! Exeunt.
