iI pray thee, good Mercutio, let'southward retire:
twoThe 24-hour interval is hot, the Capulets abroad,
3And, if we meet, nosotros shall non scape a brawl;
4For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.

146Tybalt, my cousin! O my brother's child!
147O prince! O cousin! married man! O, the claret is spilt
148O my honey kinsman! Prince, every bit thou art true,
149For blood of ours, shed blood of Montague.
150O cousin, cousin!
PRINCE
151Benvolio, who began this encarmine fray?
BENVOLIO
152Tybalt, here slain, whom Romeo'southward mitt did slay;

153Romeo that spoke him fair, bade him bethink
154How squeamish the quarrel was, and urged withal
155Your high displeasure: all this uttered
156With gentle breath, calm expect, knees humbly bow'd,
157Could not take truce with the unruly spleen
158Of Tybalt deaf to peace, but that he tilts
159With piercing steel at assuming Mercutio'due south breast,
160Who all as hot, turns deadly bespeak to point,
161And, with a martial contemptuousness, with 1 hand beats
162Common cold death aside, and with the other sends
163It back to Tybalt, whose dexterity,
164Retorts it. Romeo he cries aloud,
165"Hold, friends! friends, part!" and, swifter than his tongue,
166His active arm beats down their fatal points,
167And 'twixt them rushes; underneath whose arm
168. envious: malicious.
169. stout: proud, fierce.

174And, every bit he cruel, did Romeo turn and fly.
175This is the truth, or permit Benvolio die.
LADY CAPULET
176He is a kinsman to the Montague;
177Affection makes him false; he speaks not true:
178Some xx of them fought in this blackness strife,
179And all those twenty could but kill one life.
180I beg for justice, which thou, prince, must give;
181Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live.
PRINCE
182Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio;
183. dear: precious, costly.
183Who now the toll of his dear blood doth owe?
MONTAGUE
184Not Romeo, prince, he was Mercutio'due south friend;
185. concludes: puts an end to.

190But I'll amerce you with so strong a fine
191That you shall all apologize the loss of mine.
192I will exist deafened to pleading and excuses;
193. purchase out abuses: buy out [the penalisation for] misdeeds.
193Nor tears nor prayers shall buy out abuses:
194Therefore use none. Permit Romeo hence in haste,
195Else, when he's found, that hour is his last.
196. nourish our will: be on paw to hear my further judgment.
197. Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill: i.east., having mercy on a murderer only invites others to murder, considering they think they will be given mercy, too.
196Bear hence this body and nourish our will;
197Mercy but murders, pardoning those that impale.
Exeunt.
