SCENE I. A public place.
MERCUTIO Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze;
I will not budge for no man's pleasure, I.
Enter ROMEO
TYBALT Well, peace be with you, sir: here comes my man.
Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford
No better term than this,-thou art a villain.
ROMEO Tybalt, villain am I none;
Therefore farewell; I see thou know'st me not.
TYBALT Boy, this shall not excuse the injuries
That thou hast done me; therefore turn and draw.
ROMEO I do protest, I never injured thee,
But love thee better than thou canst devise,
Till thou shalt know the reason of my love:
And so, good Capulet,-which name I tender
As dearly as my own,-be satisfied.
MERCUTIO O calm, dishonourable, vile submission!
Draws
Tybalt, you rat-catcher, will you walk?
TYBALT What wouldst thou have with me?
MERCUTIO Good king of cats, nothing but one of your nine
lives;
TYBALT I am for you.
Drawing
Why is Tybalt
annoyed with
Romeo?
Why doesn’t Romeo
want to fight Tybalt?
Mercutio and Tybalt fight
ROMEO Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage!
Tybalt, Mercutio, the prince expressly hath
Forbidden bandying in Verona streets:
Hold, Tybalt! good Mercutio!
TYBALT under ROMEO's arm stabs MERCUTIO, and flies with his
followers
MERCUTIO I am hurt.
A plague o' both your houses! I am sped.
Is he gone, and hath nothing?
BENVOLIO What, art thou hurt?
MERCUTIO Ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch; marry, 'tis enough.
Where is my page? Go, villain, fetch a surgeon.
ROMEO Courage, man; the hurt cannot be much.
MERCUTIO ‘Tis enough,'twill serve: ask for
me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man. A plague o'
both your houses! Why the devil came you between us? I
was hurt under your arm.
ROMEO I thought all for the best.
MERCUTIO Help me into some house, Benvolio,
Or I shall faint. A plague o' both your houses!
They have made worms' meat of me:
A plague o’ both
your houses!
BENVOLIO O Romeo, Romeo, brave Mercutio's dead!
Here comes the furious Tybalt back again.
ROMEO Alive, in triumph! and Mercutio slain!
Re-enter TYBALT
Now, Tybalt, take the villain back again,
That late thou gavest me; for Mercutio's soul
Is but a little way above our heads,
Staying for thine to keep him company:
Either thou, or I, or both, must go with him.
TYBALT Thou, wretched boy, that didst consort him here,
Shalt with him hence.
ROMEO This shall determine that.
They fight; TYBALT falls. Exit ROMEO
Enter Citizens, & c
PRINCE Where are the vile beginners of this fray?
LADY CAPULET Tybalt, my cousin! O my brother's child!
O prince! O cousin! husband! O, the blood is spilt
O my dear kinsman! Prince, as thou art true,
For blood of ours, shed blood of Montague.
O cousin, cousin!
PRINCE And for that offence
Immediately we do exile him hence:
Romeo is banished!
Do you think the Prince
made the right decision?
What would Montague and Lady Capulet say about the
Prince’s decision?
TYBALT Romeo, the hate I bear thee can afford
No better term than this,--thou art a villain.
Turn and draw.
ROMEO I do protest, I never injured thee,
But love thee better than thou canst devise,
Till thou shalt know the reason of my love:
And so, good Capulet,--which name I tender
As dearly as my own,--be satisfied.
