ACT III

Was ever book containing such vile matter So fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell In such a gorgeous palace.

NURSE.

There’s no trust,

No faith, no honesty in men. All perjur’d,

All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.

Ah, where’s my man? Give me some aqua vitae.

These griefs, these woes, these sorrows make me old.

Shame come to Romeo.

JULIET.

Blister’d be thy tongue

For such a wish! He was not born to shame.

Upon his brow shame is asham’d to sit;

For ’tis a throne where honour may be crown’d

Sole monarch of the universal earth.

O, what a beast was I to chide at him!

NURSE.

Will you speak well of him that kill’d your cousin?

JULIET.
