30 We might recover all our loss again:

The queen from France hath brought a puissant power:

Even now we heard the news: ah, couldst thou fly!

War. Why, then I would not fly. Ah, Montague,

If thou be there, sweet brother, take my hand,

35 And with thy lips keep in my soul awhile!

Thou lovest me not; for, brother, if thou didst,

Thy tears would wash this cold congealed blood

That glues my lips and will not let me speak.

Come quickly, Montague, or I am dead.
