ABSTRACT

Romeo and Juliet Straight would I hyc, where he doth lurke, to frier Lawrence cell. But if you gyn cftsones (as erst you did) to moorne, Wherto goe I, you will be dcd before I thence retoorne. So I shall spend in wast, my time and busy payne, So unto you (your life once lost) good aunswere commes in vayne, So shall I ridde my selfe with this sharpe pointed knife, So shall you cause your parents deere wax wery of theyr life, 1240 So shall your Romeus, ( despysing lively breath,) With hasty foote (before his tyme) ronne to untimely death. Where if you can a while, by reason, rage suppresse, I hope at my retorne to bring the salve of your distresse. Now choose to have me here a partner of your payne, Or promesse me, to fcede on hope, till I retorne agayne.
