V. ii.: Friar John tells Friar Lawrence that he could not send the letter to Romeo.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| He was in Mantua visiting the searchers of the town, suspecting that we both were in a house where the infectious pestilence did reign, sealed up the doors, and would not let us forth. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Who bare my letter then to Romeo? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| I could not send it-here it is again-nor could a messenger bring it thee. So fearful they were of the infection. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Unhappy fortune. Of dear import, and the neglecting it may do much danger. | |
 | |  |
|

| Within this three hours will fair Juliet awake. She will beshrew me much that Romeo hath had no notice of these accidents. I will write again to Mantua, and keep her at my cell till Romeo come. | |
