112 The lady stirs.

Jul. O, comfortable friar! where is my lord?

I do remember well where I should be,

And there I am. Where is my Romeo?

[Noise within.]

''Fri. L''. I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest

Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:

A greater power than we can contradict

Hath thwarted our intents: come, come away.

Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;

And Paris too: come, I'll dispose of thee

Among a sisterhood of holy nuns.

Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;

Come, go, good Juliet.—[Noise again.] I dare no longer stay.

Jul. Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.

What's here? a cup, clos'd in my true love's hand?

Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.

O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop

To help me after! I will kiss thy lips;

Haply, some poison yet doth hang on them,

To make me die with a restorative.

Thy lips are warm!

First Watch. [Within.] Lead, boy: which way?

Jul. Yea, noise? then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!

This is thy sheath;

there rust and let me die.

Falls [on Romeo's body and dies.]

 148 comfortable: affording comfort

162 timeless: untimely

165 Haply: perhaps
