XII.

"JUL. Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.-
What's here? a cup closed in my true love's hand!
Poison, I see, hath been his untimely end:-
O churl! drink all; and leave no friendly drop
To help me after?—I will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them

To make me die with a restorative.

Thy lips are warm.

(Kisses him.)

WATCH. (Within.) Lead, boy;-which way?

JUL. Yea, noise? then I'll be brief.-O happy dagger! (Snatching ROMEO's dagger.)

This is thy sheath—(stabs herself)—there rust, and let me

die."
