1 Enter the Prince and Attendants.
2 Enter Prince Escalus, with Attendants.
3 I charge thee in the Prince's name obey.
4 Go tell the Prince; run to the Capulets.
5 I bring thee tidings of the Prince's doom.
6 Hold him in safety till the Prince come hither.
7 The Prince will doom thee death If thou art taken.
8 Enter Prince, attended; Montague, Capulet, their Wives and others.
9 O noble Prince, I can discover all The unlucky manage of this fatal brawl.
10 I beg for justice, which thou, Prince, must give; Romeo slew Tybalt, Romeo must not live.
11 Not Romeo, Prince, he was Mercutio's friend; His fault concludes but what the law should end, The life of Tybalt.
12 Unless philosophy can make a Juliet, Displant a town, reverse a Prince's doom, It helps not, it prevails not, talk no more.
13 Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage, Tybalt, Mercutio, the Prince expressly hath Forbid this bandying in Verona streets.
14 While we were interchanging thrusts and blows Came more and more, and fought on part and part, Till the Prince came, who parted either part.
15 But look thou stay not till the watch be set, For then thou canst not pass to Mantua; Where thou shalt live till we can find a time To blaze your marriage, reconcile your friends, Beg pardon of the Prince, and call thee back With twenty hundred thousand times more joy Than thou went'st forth in lamentation.
