about

Romeo arrives at Juliet's resting place early having missed the message sent from Friar Lawrence to tell him of the plan. He believes Juliet is really dead. He decides to kill himself.

lyrics

Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
Thou art not conquered.
Beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips
and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advancèd there.—

Dear Juliet, Juliet, why art thou yet so fair?
Eyes, look your last. Arms,
take your last embrace.
And, lips, O you The doors of breath,
seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death.
