134 ROMEO AND JULIET. 

Enter the Pkince 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 shovild it be, that they so shriek abroad ? 

Lady Capulet. The people in the street cry E-omeo, 
Some Juliet, and some Paris, and all run 
With open outcry toward our monument. 

Prince. What fear is this which startles in our ears ? 

1 Watch. Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain ; 
And Eomeo dead ; and Juliet, dead before, 
Warm and new kill'd. 

Prince. Search, seek, and know how this foul murder 
comes. 

1 Watch. Here is a friar, and slaughter'd Eomeo's 
man, 
With instruments upon them fit to open 
These dead men's tombs. 

Capulet. heaven ! — wife, look how our daughter 
bleeds ! 
This dagger hath mista'en, — for, lo, his house 
Is empty on the back of Montague, — 
And is mis-sheathed in my daughter's bosom. 

Lady Capulet. me ! this sight of death is as a bell, 
That warns my old age to a sepulchre.
