I will be briefe, for my short date of breath

Is not so long as is a tedious tale.

And she there dead, that's Romeos faithfull wife:

I married them; and their stolne marriage day

Was Tybalts Doomesday: whose vntimely death

Banish'd the new‑made Bridegroome from this Citie:

For whom (and not for Tybalt) Iuliet pinde.

Betroth'd, and would haue married her perforce

To Countie Paris. Then comes she to me,

And (with wilde lookes) bid me deuise some meanes

To rid her from this second Marriage,

Or in my Cell there would she kill her selfe.

Then gaue I her (so Tutor'd by my Art)
