Scene IIFriar Laurence’s cellEnter Friar JohnFriar JohnHoly Franciscan friar! brother, ho!Enter Friar LaurenceFriar LaurenceThis same should be the voice of Friar John. Welcome from Mantua: what says Romeo? Or, if his mind be writ, give me his letter.Friar JohnGoing to find a bare-foot brother out One of our order, to associate me, Here in this city visiting the sick, And finding him, the searchers of the town, Suspecting that we both were in a house Where the infectious pestilence did reign, Seal’d up the doors, and would not let us forth; So that my speed to Mantua there was stay’d.Friar LaurenceWho bare my letter, then, to Romeo?Friar JohnI could not send it,—here it is again,— Nor get a messenger to bring it thee, So fearful were they of infection.Friar LaurenceUnhappy fortune! by my brotherhood, The letter was not nice but full of charge Of dear import, and the neglecting it May do much danger. Friar John, go hence; Get me an iron crow, and bring it straight Unto my cell.Friar JohnBrother, I’ll go and bring it thee.ExitFriar LaurenceNow must I to the monument alone; Within three hours will fair Juliet wake: She will beshrew me much that Romeo Hath had no notice of these accidents; But I will write again to Mantua, And keep her at my cell till Romeo come; Poor living corse, closed in a dead man’s tomb!Exit
