[Falls on ROMEO's body, and dies]
[Enter Watch, with the Page of PARIS]
PAGE This is the place; there, where the torch doth burn.
First Watchman The ground is bloody; search about the churchyard:
Go, some of you, whoe'er you find attach.
Pitiful sight! here lies the county slain,
And Juliet bleeding, warm, and newly dead,
Who here hath lain these two days buried.
Go, tell the prince: run to the Capulets:
Raise up the Montagues: some others search:
We see the ground whereon these woes do lie;
But the true ground of all these piteous woes
We cannot without circumstance descry.
[Re-enter some of the Watch, with BALTHASAR]
Second Watchman Here's Romeo's man; we found him in the churchyard.
First Watchman Hold him in safety, till the prince come hither.
[Re-enter others of the Watch, with FRIAR LAURENCE]
Third Watchman Here is a friar, that trembles, sighs and weeps:
We took this mattock and this spade from him,
As he was coming from this churchyard side.
First Watchman A great suspicion: stay the friar too.
[Enter the PRINCE and Attendants]
PRINCE What misadventure is so early up,
That calls our person from our morning's rest?
[Enter CAPULET, LADY CAPULET, and others]
CAPULET What should it be, that they so shriek abroad?
LADY CAPULET The people in the street cry Romeo,
Some Juliet, and some Paris; and all run,
With open outcry toward our monument.
PRINCE What fear is this which startles in our ears?
First Watchman Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain;
And Romeo dead; and Juliet, dead before,
Warm and new kill'd.
