P. 3256

See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
 That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love;
 And I, for winking at your discords too,
 Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punish’d.

CAPULET

 O brother Montague, give me thy hand. [295]
 This is my daughter’s jointure, for no more
 Can I demand.

MONT AGUE

                But I can give thee more,
 For I will raise her statue in pure gold,
 That whiles Verona by that name is known,
 There shall no figure at such rate be set [300]
 As that of true and faithful Juliet.

CAPULET

 As rich shall Romeo’s by his lady’s lie,
 Poor sacrifices of our enmity.

PRINCE

 A glooming peace this morning with it brings:
 The sun for sorrow will not show his head. [305]
 Go hence to have more talk of these sad things.
 Some shall be pardon’d, and some punished,
 For never was a story of more woe
 Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

                                                       Exeunt.
