Enter ROMEO and JULIET above, at the window

JULIET  Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree:
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
ROMEO  It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east:
Night’s candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
JULIET Yon light is not day-light, I know it.
ROMEO More light and light; more dark and dark our woes!
Then, window, let day in, and let life out.
Farewell, farewell! one kiss, and I’ll descend.

He goes down

ROMEO Farewell!
I will omit no opportunity
That may convey my greetings, love, to thee.
JULIET O God, I have an ill-divining soul!

Enters Apothecary

Apothecary Who calls so loud?
ROMEO Let me have
A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear
As will disperse itself through all the veins.
Apothecary Such mortal drugs I have; but Mantua’s law
Is death to any he that utters them.
ROMEO The world is not thy friend nor the world’s law;
The world affords no law to make thee rich;
Then be not poor, but break it, and take this.
Apothecary Put this in any liquid thing you will,
And drink it off; and, if you had the strength
Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight.

Dies

JULIET What’s here? a cup, closed in my true love’s hand?
Poison…. drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips

Kisses him

Thy lips are warm.
Noise? then I’ll be brief. O happy dagger!

Stabs herself

there rust, and let me die.

Falls on ROMEO’s body, and dies)

All come out on the stage

AUTHOR 1
A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon’d, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

French author
Cette matinée apporte avec elle une paix sinistre, le soleil se voile la face de douleur. Partons pour causer encore de ces tristes choses. Il y aura des graciés et des punis. Car jamais aventure ne fut plus douloureuse que celle de Juliette et de son Roméo.
