3 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’s side. [185]

1 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 rest?

Enter Capulet and Lady Capulet (and Servants).

CAPULET

What should it be that is so shriek’d abroad?

LADY CAPULET

O, the people in the street cry ‘Romeo’, [190]
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 WATCHMAN

Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain,
And Romeo dead, and Juliet, dead before, [195]
Warm, and new kill’d.

PRINCE

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

1 WATCHMAN

Here is a friar, and slaughter’d Romeo’s man,
With instruments upon them fit to open
These dead men’s tombs. [200]
