Bal. [Aside] For all this same, I'll hide me hereabout:[1461]
His looks I fear, and his intents I doubt.[1462] [Retires.
Rom. Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death,[1463] 45
Gorged with the dearest morsel of the earth,
Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open,
And in despite I'll cram thee with more food.[1464]
[Opens the tomb.
Par. This is that banish'd haughty Montague
That murder'd my love's cousin, with which grief,[1465] 50
It is supposed, the fair creature died,
And here is come to do some villanous shame
To the dead bodies: I will apprehend him.[1466]
[Comes forward.
Stop thy unhallow'd toil, vile Montague![1467]
Can vengeance be pursued further than death? 55
Condemned villain, I do apprehend thee:[1468]
Obey, and go with me; for thou must die.
Rom. I must indeed, and therefore came I hither.
Good gentle youth, tempt not a desperate man;[1469]
Fly hence and leave me: think upon these gone;[1470] 60
Let them affright thee. I beseech thee, youth,
Put not another sin upon my head,[1471]
By urging me to fury: O, be gone!
By heaven, I love thee better than myself,
For I come hither arm'd against myself: 65
Stay not, be gone: live, and hereafter say,[1472]
A madman's mercy bid thee run away.[1472][1473]
Par. I do defy thy conjurations[1474]
And apprehend thee for a felon here.
Rom. Wilt thou provoke me? then have at thee, boy![1475] 70
[They fight.
