NURSE
Tybalt is gone and Romeo banished.
Romeo that kill’d him, he is banished. [70]
JULIET
O God! Did Romeo’s hand shed Tybalt’s blood?
NURSE
It did, it did, alas the day, it did.
JULIET
O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face.
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical, [75]
Dove-feather’d raven, wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despised substance of divinest show!
Just opposite to what thou justly seem’st!
A damned saint, an honourable villain!
O nature what hadst thou to do in hell [80]
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In mortal paradise of such sweet flesh?
Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace.
NURSE
There’s no trust, [85]
No faith, no honesty in men. All perjur’d,
All forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.
Ah, where’s my man? Give me some aqua vitae.
These griefs, these woes, these sorrows make me old.
Shame come to Romeo.
JULIET
Blister’d be thy tongue [90]
For such a wish. He was not born to shame.
Upon his brow shame is asham’d to sit,
For ’tis a throne where honour may be crown’d
Sole monarch of the universal earth.
O, what a beast was I to chide at him. [95]
