[Act V

SCENE 1]

Enter Romeo.

Romeo. If I may trust the flatt'ring truth of sleep
My dreams presage some joyful news at hand.
My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne,
And all this day an unaccustom'd spirit

Lifts me above the ground with cheerful thoughts. 5
I dreamt my lady came and found me dead (Strange dream that gives a dead man leave to
think!)
And breath'd such life with kisses in my lips
That I reviv'd and was an emperor.
Ah me! how sweet is love itself possess'd 10
When but love's shadows are so rich in joy.

Enter Romeo's Man ( Balthasar, booted).

News from Verona! How now, Balthasar?
Dost thou not bring me letters from the Friar?
How doth my lady? Is my father well?

How fares my Juliet? That I ask again, 15
For nothing can be ill if she be well.

Balthasar. Then she is well and nothing can be ill.
Her body sleeps in Capels' monument,
And her immortal part with angels lives.
