ACT III

An hour but married, Tybalt murdered, Doting like me, and like me banished, Then mightst thou speak, then mightst thou tear thy hair, And fall upon the ground as I do now, Taking the measure of an unmade grave.

[Knocking within.]

FRIAR LAWRENCE.

Arise; one knocks. Good Romeo, hide thyself.

ROMEO.

[Knocking.]

Run to my study.—By-and-by.—God’s will,

What simpleness is this.—I come, I come.

[Knocking.]
