TYOBALD: What? You fight against those poor servants? Turn back, Benvolio, face your death.

BENVOLIO: I only make peace; return your sword to its sheath, or use it to help me separate to
these people.

TYOBALD: What! You bare your sword and speak of peace!? I hate that word as I hate hell, all
the Montagues and you? Defend yourself, coward!

(They fight.)

(Partisans of the two houses enter, taking part in the fight; immediately

some citizens armed with clubs.)

CAPULET : My sword I say! Here comes old Montague, who draws his own, defying me.

(Enter MONTESCO and LADY MONTESCO.)

PRINCE: Rebellious subjects! Enemies of peace! Desecrators of that steel that stains you with
blood - Don't you want to hear? Hey, enough! Men, throw down your angry weapons and
listen to the sentence of his indignant Prince. Three civil quarrels! Generated by your ill-timed
word, Old Capulet… And the Montagues have disturbed the quiet of our streets three times. If
they come back to disturb the rest of the population in the future, with their heads will pay the
price of peace. For once, let the others go. You, Capulet, Come with me; you, Montague, come,
it's late. I say it again, under penalty of death, everyone withdraw!

(Everyone leaves except MONTESCO, LADY MONTESCO and BENVOLIO)

LADY MONTESCO: Oh! where is Romeo? - Have you seen him today? I am very glad he is not
gone. found in this fray

until the Prince came and separated them.

(ROMEO appears, at a distance.)

BENVOLIO: Look, there he comes: please go away.

(MONTESCO and his wife leave.)

BENVOLIO: Good morning, cousin.

ROMEO: Alas! The sad hours seem long! (sad and thoughtful) Was it my father who

that left so quickly?

BENVOLIO: Yes. What sorrow is it that lengthens Romeo's hours? Is it want of love?

ROMEO: Not having what, having it, shortens them.

BENVOLIO : But, Romeo

ROMEO: Farewell, cousin . (walks) What quarrel has there been here? Don't tell me. For I have

heard it all. Much to do with hate and more with love.

BENVOLIO: Alas! that love, though apparently so sweet, should be in trial so tyrannical and so
cruel!
ROMEO: Alas! that love, whose eyes are ever covered, should find without seeing the direction
of his mark! Much must be fought here with hatred, but more with love. Do you not laugh?

BENVOLIO: No, cousin, I rather cry.

ROMEO: Why, good heart?

BENVOLIO: To see the sorrow that oppresses your soul.

ROMEO: My own pains were too much of a burden on my breast; to press it further, you
would increase my sorrows with yours. Goodbye, cousin.

BENVOLIO: Wait, I want to go with you; I am offended if you leave me thus. Tell me, who is the
person you love?

ROMEO: She is beyond the reach of Cupid's arrows, She whom I adore is not to be
importuned. With loving proposals, Oh! She is rich in beauty. Rosalina

BENVOLIO : Take my advice, put her out of your thoughts.

ROMEO: Oh! tell me how I may cease to think.

BENVOLIO: Restoring freedom to your eyes, by fixing them on other beauties.

ROMEO: Set before me a woman most lovely, Farewell, you cannot teach me to forget her,
Rosalina.

BENVOLIO: I will prove the efficacy of my advice or I will be in your debt. (EXIT)

ACT 2 Narrator: At the Capulet house. The father and mother are talking about their
daughter, and how they should find love for them, and then marry them off, so they can get
on with their lives. Samson, the most trusted servant, was also present.

– Mrs. Capulet: Capulet, I think it is time for our beloved Juliet to give free rein to love.

– Capulet: I've been thinking about that too, my love. In fact, Count Paris will be the one to
make her fall in love with him, he's a good boy. And I invited him to tonight's party.

– Mrs. Capulet: Then I will give the news to our daughter.

– Samson: With all due respect, my lords, I think you should let your daughter choose who to
marry.

– Capulet: It's a good idea, but we should also think about the family as a whole, and our own
well-being.

– Samson: If you do that, you will be doing wrong, and you will pay a very high price for it, my
lord. But it will be as you say.

ACT 3 Narrator: In the courtyard of the house, Juliet is with her nurse Ama, who is looking at
the flowers.

Enter Mrs. Capulet

Lady Capulet: (getting ready) Nurse, where is my daughter? Tell her to come here.

Mistress: Yes, I told him to come. (Enter JULIET.)

Julieta: What's up, who's calling me?

Love: your mother.

Julieta: Here I am, madam. What do you command?

Lady Capulet: Ready; marriage is precisely the particular thing that I wanted

Tell me, Juliet, my daughter, how are you disposed to marriage?

Ama: May God's grace protect you! You were the most beautiful creature in

how many cries: If I live long enough to see you married one day, I will be satisfied.

Julieta: It's an honor I haven't thought about.

Lady Capulet: Well, think about marriage now: many younger than you,

people of great esteem in Verona, are already mothers.

Lady Capulet : What do you say? Can you love? Tonight you will see him in our

party. Read the features of young Paris. Be brief, will you accept Paris's love?

Julieta: I'll see if loving him is worth seeing.

– Mrs. Capulet: This garden is full of roses, but you are the most beautiful, my beautiful
daughter.

– Juliet: (Hopeful) Mother, I want to fall in love, I want to know love.

– Mrs. Capulet: Well, at tonight's party you will be wooed, and it will be Count Paris who will
do it. (Enter a SERVANT.)

For the lady's sake, I have to go do some work; I beg you to come without delay.

– Ama: (Surprised) What luck, Count Paris!

ACT 4 Narrator: Across the city. With the party just hours away, the two dancers, Romeo and
Mercury, were getting ready. They were to dance that night as entertainment at the Capulet
party. With them was Romeo's cousin Benvolio, helping them get ready.

– Romeo: At tonight's party we must dance without waste, my great friend Mercury!

– Mercury: We will dance so well that we will be paid what we owe. Remember that we are
just dancers who entertain the bored!

– Romeo: I know that, but that doesn't stop us from having a little fun, my friend, besides...
(Hopeful look) my beloved Juliet will be there.

– Mercury: Hey! Romeo! Remember that Juliet is the daughter of the Capulets, your great
enemies, the Montagues!
– Romeo: Don't take away my hopes, my friend.

– Benvolio: I think the same, cousin, you shouldn't get your hopes up, our family is the enemy
of hers.

– Romeo: I still say that you shouldn't take away my hopes.

– Benvolio: I'm just advising you, it wouldn't be a good idea for you to join a Capulet, but I
won't take away your crazy hopes.

– Mercury: We will be left without hope if we do not leave soon. I only give you one piece of
advice, it is better not to get involved in things where you do not belong, that way you will
avoid big problems, and in turn you will avoid big tragedies, my friend.

ACT 5 Narrator: Now at the party, in the Capulet house. The dancers (Romeo and Mercury)
enter, followed by Count Paris, pushing them discreetly.

– Count Paris: (Sarcastic) A thousand apologies, noble dancer, I was just passing by.

Romeo and Mercury move away a little and continue dancing.

– Capulet: Here is Young Paris, the great Count Paris!

– Count Paris : Hello Capulet, I have come as you asked, I hope I have arrived on time.

– Capulet: Just in time! Juliet! Come out now!

garden of Verona!

Narrator: Romeo, unable to contain his jealousy upon hearing these words directed at his
beloved, bursts into screams

– Romeo: (Upset) You are not a good man for her, you are not her true love, there is only
interest between your families!

– Tybalt: (Quickly moving towards Romeo and unsheathing his sabre) You are not the one to
mess with the Count, much less the one to make my cousin Juliet fall in love with him.

– Mercury: (Running quickly to cover Romeo, he also draws his saber .) Don't even think
about it!

Narrator: Tybalt fights with Mercury, and finally kills him with his saber. Romeo, seeing this,
says goodbye to his great friend, swears immediate revenge and takes his sword, begins to
fight with Tybalt, thus managing to kill him instantly. Romeo is taken out of the place.

Count Paris, Juliet and the Capulets take shelter in their house out of danger. Juliet runs to
the garden, Romeo sees her and tries to get into the garden too, and that's where he sees
her.

– Romeo: My beloved Juliet, I have loved you in secret since the beginning of our days, our
families seem destined for quarrels, but you and I are destined for our eternal love!

– Juliet: Oh Romeo, where have you been all this time, you are the gardener I need in my
garden! But how will we be together?

and we will run away!

house for him to marry them.

– Romeo: (Anxious) Brother Lawrence, I ask you to marry us right now.

– Friar Lawrence: But how could you do that, Romeo, your families have been enemies since
the beginning of time!

– Julieta: Brother Lawrence, we ask you.

– Friar Lawrence: This is impossible, but something tells me that their love is possible, but I
can't find what to do! You are very brave to do all this, Romeo. You know the history of the
two families, and yet you want to give your life to your beloved Juliet. I have nothing else to
do. If their love is true, then I will do it.

ACT 7 Narrator: The Capulets and Ama find out that Juliet escaped with Romeo to Friar
Lawrence and that they were planning to get married, they call the prince of Verona Escala
and show up at the Friar's house.

– Prince Scale: (Anger and authority) With the powers that have been granted to me, you are
banished from Verona, for all the deeds that have been committed, enough of the quarrels
between your family and the Capulets! Enough, since you killed Tybalt Capulet, you are
banished!

– Juliet: (Terrified) You can't do that, Prince!

– Ama: The love that exists between Romeo and Juliet is real, don't do it Prince!

– Prince Escala: I already did it, and if I didn't, your families would be plunged into the
tragedies of so many consecutive deaths!

– The Capulets: (Both at the same time) Juliet, come right now!

– Ama: Come Julieta, no matter how much pain you feel, we can't do anything else!

Narrator: The Capulets leave the place with Ama and Juliet, the prince leaves and Romeo is
left on the ground, powerless, next to his friend Friar Lawrence.

Romeo's mother, Mrs. Montague, was. Once there, they organize a plan to reunite with
Romeo.

– Mrs. Montague (To Juliet ) : Whatever you're going to do, please do it for the love my son
feels for you, don't make him suffer any more, your family are our enemies, but it's not the
fault of you two, your love is sincere!

– Friar Lawrence: Tell me what you want me to do for you.

– Juliet: Go find Romeo, I will pretend to take poison and wait asleep for Romeo to be rescued,
then we will escape! And you, Mrs. Montague, I swear that everything I will do will be for your
son, and for the love I feel for him.

– Mrs. Montague: You have the right to be free to love, we already live, and you will live.

– Friar Lawrence: I don't want to get into any more trouble! But I've already married them, so I
will.

Narrator: Juliet heads home, takes the supposed poison and falls to the ground, the Capulets
see her and grieve for her loss, they take her to the Mausoleum, on the other side of the
pond, the Friar Lorenzo gives the news to Romeo who returns to Verona, and he quickly,
seeing that the Capulets are no longer in the Mausoleum, enters it to see his beloved, whom
he believed to be dead. At the same time, and surprisingly, Count Paris enters.

– Romeo: (Euphoric and in pain) My beloved Juliet, how much your loss hurts me!

– Count Paris: She was never your beloved, she was mine! -He draws his sabre-

– Romeo: You are not the one who should be here, it was I who married her, you are nothing
but a Count!

Narrator: Count Paris and Romeo fight to the death, with Romeo being the victor. He sees
his beloved again, sees the bottle of poison, takes it and runs to the exit of the Mausoleum,

beloved.

ACT 9 – END Narrator: The Capulets arrive at the scene with Ama, Mrs. Montague also
arrives with her husband Montague and Friar Lawrence.

– Juliet: No, my love! Why did you do it! Why did you leave without me!

– Capulet: You better move away, Juliet.

– Montague (Emmanuel): Better leave your daughter alone, Capulet, she loved my son, it
wasn't their fault.

– Capulet: You will never understand the pain I feel for the loss of my daughter.

– Montague: My son is also dead, and that is why I propose a truce.

– Juliet: I will not leave him, I will go with him, and I will love him until I die, he and I are free to
love each other, and we will love each other for all eternity.

Narrator: Juliet stabs herself with a dagger and dies next to Romeo, thus remaining united
for all eternity. Due to all these events, the two families decide to make a truce and reach
peace, and that is how the impossible love of Romeo and Juliet managed to unite the two
families separated by the years.
