“O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.”

“A glooming peace this morning with it brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head. Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardoned, and some punished; For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
