This is my daughter's jointure, for no more Can I demand.

Mon.	But I can give thee more: For I will raise[C 1] her statue in pure gold; That whiles[C 2] Verona by that name is known, There shall no figure at such[C 3] rate be set300 As that of true[E 1] and faithful Juliet.

Cap.	As rich shall Romeo[E 2] by his lady[C 4] lie; Poor sacrifices of our enmity!

Prince.

A glooming[C 5][E 3] peace this morning with it brings; The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:305 Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:[E 4] For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.[Exeunt.
