"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 pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo!."

And thou no breath at all!? Thou'lt come no more,

Pray you undo this button!. Thank you, sir!.
Do you see this!? Look on her! look! her lips!
Look there, look there! "
