SCENE III.
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 d noteyew-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.
e noteFair Juliet, that with angels dost remain,
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,
-- 332 --
To cross my obsequies, and true love's rites?
What with a torch? muffle me, night, a while.
