Enter the Prince and Attendants.
Prince. What misadventure is so early up,[1539]
That calls our person from our morning rest?[1540]
Enter Capulet, Lady Capulet, and others.[1541]
Cap. What should it be that they so shriek abroad?[1542]
La. Cap. The people in the street cry Romeo,[1543][1544] 190
Some Juliet, and some Paris, and all run
With open outcry toward our monument.[1545]
Prince. What fear is this which startles in our ears?[1546]
First Watch. Sovereign, here lies the County Paris slain;[1547]
And Romeo dead; and Juliet, dead before, 195
Warm and new kill'd.
Prince. Search, seek, and know how this foul murder comes.[1548]
First Watch. Here is a friar, and slaughter'd Romeo's man,[1547][1549]
With instruments upon them fit to open
These dead men's tombs.[1550] 200
