Shakespeare's Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

by William Shakespeare

Juliet. Tell me not, friar, that thou hear'st of this,

Unless thou tell me how I may prevent it;

If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help,

Do thou but call my resolution wise,

And with [this knife] I'll help it presently.

God join'd my heart and Romeo's, thou our hands;

And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo seal'd,

Shall be [the label] to another deed,

Or my true heart with treacherous revolt
