ROMEOġ15This day’s black fate on more days doth depend. Which too untimely here did scorn the earth. That gallant spirit hath aspired° the clouds, TYLBALT under ROMEO’s arm stabs MERCUTIO, and leaves with his company MERCUTIO Tybalt, Mercutio, the Prince expressly hath Gentlemen, for shame! Forbear this outrage.

Gentle Mercutio, put thy rapier up- MERCUTIOĨ0Draw, Benvolio! Beat down their weapons! Therefore, come, draw your rapierħ5out of your scabbard, lest mine be about your ears ere you be Mean to make bold withal, and, as you shall use me hereafter,ĭry-beat the rest of the eight. Good King of Cats, nothing but one of your nine lives that I MERCUTIOħ0 Tybalt, you Ratcatcher, will you walk? TYBALT ROMEOīut love thee better than thou canst deviseĦ5 Til thou shalt know the reason of my love.Īs dearly as mine own-be satisfied. That thou hast done me-therefore, turn and draw. Tybalt, a reason which I have to love theeĭoth much excuse the appertaining rage Ħ0 Therefore farewell.

No better term than this: thou art a villain. Into the field°, and he may be your follower Your Worship inĥ5 Romeo, the love I bear thee can afford Says “God send me no need of thee,” but under the influence MERCUTIOĥ Thou art like one of these fellows who, when he enters theĬonfines of a tavern, claps down his sword upon the table and I pray thee, good Mercutio, let’s retire,Īnd if we meet we shall not ‘scape a brawl,įor these hot days is the mad blood stirring. The Prince chooses instead to banish Romeo from the city. Benvolio explains what happened, but Lady Capulet, observing Benvolio to be biased, urges the Prince to punish the Montague family by executing Romeo. The Prince and both families then arrive to the scene. Benvolio convinces Romeo to flee before passersby arrive.

Benvolio informs Romeo that Mercutio is dead upon re-encountering Tybalt, Romeo fights and kills him. Tybalt stabs Mercutio, who in his dying moments curses both the Montague and Capulet houses. Mercutio goads Tybalt into a duel, which Romeo tries and fails to stop. Tybalt challenges him to fight, citing prior grievances Romeo refuses and attempts to de-escalate the situation. Benvolio tries to move the conflict somewhere private, but Romeo interrupts with his arrival. Tybalt and other Capulets arrive, whom Mercutio taunts. Benvolio urges Mercutio to come away with him and avoid the Capulets in the streets.
