SCENE III.
Changes to a Church-yard; in it, a Monument belonging to the Capulets.
Enter Paris, and his Page, with a light.
Par.
Give me thy torch, boy; hence and stand aloof;
Yet put it out, for I would not be seen.
Under yond yew-trees lay thee all along,
Laying thy ear close to the hollow ground,
So shall no foot upon the church-yard tread,
Being loose, unfirm, with digging up of Graves,
But thou shalt hear it: whistle then to me,
As signal that thou hear'st something approach.
Give me those flow'rs. Do as I bid thee. Go.
Page.
I am almost afraid to stand alone
Here in the church-yard, yet I will adventure.
[Exit.
Par.
Sweet flow'r! with flow'rs thy bridal bed I strew:
[Strewing flowers.
2 note
Fair Juliet, that with angels dost remain,
-- 114 --
Accept this latest favour at my hand;
That living honour'd thee, and, being dead,
With fun'ral obsequies adorn thy tomb.
[The boy whistles.
—The boy gives warning, something doth approach.—
What cursed foot wanders this way to night.
To cross my Obsequies, and true love's rite?
What, with a torch? Muffle me, night, a while.
