While finding him, the searchers of the town,
suspect us of infection and would not let us go!
FRIAR LAURENCE
Who bare my letter, then, to Romeo?

To harm the dead body?

Or did I dream?
For here lies Juliet, and her beauty

Full half an hour.

The ground is all bloody.
And there was a newly-dead warm body of Juliet.
Raise the Montagues!
Re-enter some of the Watch, with BALTHASAR
Watchman
There come the Romeos men!
Friar and Balthasar!
What a suspicion!
Enter the PRINCE and Attendants
PRINCE
What had bothered our morning rest?
Enter CAPULETS, MONTAGUES, and others
CAPULET
What happened?
Why people are shrieking?
PRINCE
What is actually happening around?
First Watchman
The County Paris, Romeo and Juliet were murdered.
PRINCE
[sigh]
Search on where this murder case comes
.

CAPULET
O heavens! Look how our daughter bleeds!
Enter MONTAGUE and others
PRINCE
Come, Montague.
MONTAGUE
Alas!
My wife had died over my sons banishment!
What else!
PRINCE
You shall see.
MONTAGUE
What is this! Deceased before your father!
PRINCE
Seal up the mouth of outrage for a while!
Bring forth the parties of suspicion.
FRIAR LAURENCE
Here I stand to impeach and purge.
PRINCE
Then say at once.
FRIAR LAURENCE
I will be brief.
The dead Romeo was Juliets husband and I was responsible to get them married.
And he was banished on the Tybalts death day.
Juliet was against the plan to marry Count Paris and asked for my help.
Before she hurt herself, I rather gave a potion for a fake death.
I should have told Romeo about this plan, but it seemed the letter was not delivered.
Romeo became aggresive and suicided beside the laying body of Juliet.
Once she woke up and saw the dead Romeo, she stabbed herself with her husbands dagger.
If it is to be my fault, I will let my old life be sacrificed
PRINCE
Youre a holy man.
Where's Romeo's man?
BALTHASAR
I brought my master news of Juliet's death;
And this letter is to be sent to his father.

PRINCE
Give me the letter; I will look on it.
Read the letter
This letter shows their course of love,
He did buy a poison to die with Juliet.
Capulet! Montague!
See what had happened over your hatred!
All are punished.
CAPULET
O brother Montague, give me your hand:
MONTAGUE
That while Verona by that name is known,
There is no others than the faithful Juliet.
CAPULET
Poor sacrifices of our enmity!
PRINCE
Some shall be pardoned, and some punished:
This tragedy of Romeo of Juliet
Should be a rememberance.
