ACT V

We still have known thee for a holy man. Where’s Romeo’s man? What can he say to this?

BALTHASAR.

I brought my master news of Juliet’s death,

And then in post he came from Mantua

To this same place, to this same monument.

This letter he early bid me give his father,

And threaten’d me with death, going in the vault,

If I departed not, and left him there.

PRINCE.

Give me the letter, I will look on it.

Where is the County’s Page that rais’d the watch?

Sirrah, what made your master in this place?

PAGE.

He came with flowers to strew his lady’s grave,

And bid me stand aloof, and so I did.

Anon comes one with light to ope the tomb,

And by and by my master drew on him,

And then I ran away to call the watch.

PRINCE.
