Enter Capulet and his Wife.
Cap. What should it be, that they so shriek abroad?
Lady Cap. The people in the street cry Romeo,
Some Juliet, and some Paris; and all run 192
With open outcry toward our monument.
Prince. What fear is this which startles in your ears?
First Watch. Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain;
And Romeo dead; and Juliet, dead before, 196
Warm and new kill'd.
Prince. Search, seek, and know how this foul murder comes.
First Watch. Here is a friar, and slaughter'd Romeo's man;
With instruments upon them, fit to open 200
These dead men's tombs.
Cap. O, heaven!—O wife! look how our daughter bleeds!
This dagger hath mista'en!—for, lo, his house
Is empty on the back of Montague— 204
And is mis-sheathed in my daughter's bosom.
Lady Cap. O me! this sight of death is as a bell,
That warns my old age to a sepulchre.
Enter Montague.
Prince. Come, Montague: for thou art early up, 208
To see thy son and heir more early down.
Mon. Alas! my liege, my wife is dead to-night;
Grief of my son's exile hath stopp'd her breath.
What further woe conspires against mine age? 212
203 house: scabbard
207 warns: summons
