Within these three hours will fair Juliet wake:

She will beshrew me much that Romeo

Hath had no notice of these accidents;

But I will write again to Mantua,

And keep her at my cell till Romeo come:

Poor living corse, clos'd in a dead man's tomb!

Exit.

Par. Give me thy torch, boy: hence, and stand aloof;

Yet put it out, for I would not be seen.

Under yond yew-trees lay thee all along,

Holding thine ear close to the hollow ground:

So shall no foot upon the churchyard tread,

Being loose, unfirm with digging up of graves,

But thou shalt hear it: whistle then to me,

As signal that thou hear'st something approach.

Give me those flowers. Do as I bid thee; go.

Page. [Aside.] I am almost afraid to stand alone

Here in the churchyard; yet I will adventure.

Exit.

Par. Sweet flower, with flowers thy bridal bed I strew,

O woe! thy canopy is dust and stones;

Which with sweet water nightly I will dew,

Or, wanting that, with tears distill'd by moans:

 25 beshrew: blame  Scene Three S. d. sweet: perfumed

3 all along: at full length
