Prologue - Movie 1.30.28
2
[Enter] CHORUS.
Chorus 1 Two households, both alike in dignity, 2 In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, 3 From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, 4 Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. 5 From forth the fatal loins of these two foes 6 A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; 7 Whose misadventured piteous overthrows 8 Do with their death bury their parents' strife. 9 The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, 10 And the continuance of their parents' rage, 11 Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, 12 Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; 13 The which if you with patient ears attend, 14 What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Act 3 Scene V - Movie 1.15.30

JULIET 1 Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day: 2 It was the nightingale, and not the lark, 3 That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear; 4 Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree: 5 Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
ROMEO 6 It was the lark, the herald of the morn, 7 No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks 8 Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east. 9 Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day 10 Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops. 11 I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
JULIET 12 Yon light is not daylight, I know it, I. 13 It is some meteor that the sun exhales, 14 To be to thee this night a torch-bearer, 15 And light thee on thy way to Mantua. 16 Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to be gone.
ROMEO 17 Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death; 18 I am content, so thou wilt have it so. 19 I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye, 20 'Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow; 21 Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat 22 The vaulty heaven so high above our heads. 23 I have more care to stay than will to go: 24 Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so. 25 How is't, my soul? let's talk; it is not day.

JULIET 43 Art thou gone so? love, lord, ay, husband, friend! 44 I must hear from thee every day in the hour, 45 For in a minute there are many days: 46 O, by this count I shall be much in years 47 Ere I again behold my Romeo!
ROMEO [From below.] 48 Farewell! 49 I will omit no opportunity 50 That may convey my greetings, love, to thee.
JULIET 51 O think'st thou we shall ever meet again?
ROMEO 52 I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve 53 For sweet discourses in our time to come.
JULIET 54 O God, I have an ill-divining soul! 55 Methinks I see thee, now thou art below, 56 As one dead in the bottom of a tomb. 57 Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.
ROMEO 58 And trust me, love, in my eye so do you: 59 Dry sorrow drinks our blood. Adieu, adieu!

GIULIETTA - E così te ne vai, amore mio, mio signore, mio sposo, mio amico, mio tutto! Voglio avere tue notizie ogni giorno dell’ora, sì, dell’ora,ci sono molti giorni in un minuto…Ahimè, a contare il tempo in questo modo,chi sa quanti anni avròprima di rivedere il mio Romeo!ROMEO – [da basso] Amore, addio!Non perderò occasione,che ti possa recare il mio saluto.GIULIETTA - Oh, pensi che ci rivedremo ancora?ROMEO - Ne son sicuro. E tutte queste pene ci servirannoallora da argomento per dolci conversari.GIULIETTA - Oh, Dio! Romeo, quale triste presagio ho in fondo all’anima!A vederti là in basso, ho l’impressione come di vedertial fondo d’un sepolcro…O m’inganna la vista, o tu sei pallido.ROMEO - E pallida tu appari agli occhi miei, amore mio.Quest’amarezza acerba si beve il nostro sangue. Addio! Addio!

FRIAR LAURENCE 89 Hold, then; go home, be merry, give consent 90 To marry Paris: Wednesday is tomorrow: 91 Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone; 92 Let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy chamber: 93 Take thou this vial, being then in bed, 94 And this distilling liquor drink thou off; 95 When presently through all thy veins shall run 96 A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse 97 Shall keep his native progress, but surcease: 98 No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; 99 The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade 100 To wanny ashes, thy eyes' windows fall, 101 Like death, when he shuts up the day of life; 102 Each part, deprived of supple government, 103 Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death: 104 And in this borrow'd likeness of shrunk death 105 Thou shalt continue two and forty hours, 106 And then awake as from a pleasant sleep.
Raffaele Nardella
FRATE LORENZO –
Allora senti: adesso torna a casa, cerca di darti un’aria spensierata, e accetta di sposare il conte Paride. Domani, è mercoldì :domani notte devi fare in modo di restar a dormire sola in camera,senza tenerti con te la nutrice.Toh, prendi questa fiala; e appena a letto,bevi il liquido in essa contenuto;ti sentirai fluire nelle venesubito un freddo umore soporifero; il polso perderà il normale ritmo, cessando a poco a poco di pulsare.Non resterà calore, né respiro a dar segno che sei ancora in vita.Il roseo sulle labbra e sulle gote si stingerà fino a farsi pallore, come color di cenere; le palpebre s’abbasseranno, come quando morte cala a chiudere il giorno della vita.Le membra, prive d’ogni movimento,irrigidite, gelide, indurite, prenderanno l’aspetto della morte;ed in questa mortal rigidità, che sarà solamente artificiale,tu resterai per quarantadue ore,dopodiché tornerai a svegliarti come da un sonno placido e tranquillo.

ROMEO
57 What, ho! apothecary!
[Enter APOTHECARY.]
Apothecary 57 Who calls so loud?
ROMEO 58 Come hither, man. I see that thou art poor: 59 Hold, there is forty ducats. [Offers gold.] Let me have 60 A dram of poison, such soon-speeding gear
61 As will disperse itself through all the veins 62 That the life-weary taker may fall dead 63 And that the trunk may be discharged of breath 64 As violently as hasty powder fired 65 Doth hurry from the fatal cannon's womb.
Apothecary 66 Such mortal drugs I have; but Mantua's law 67 Is death to any he that utters them.
ROMEO 68 Art thou so bare and full of wretchedness, 69 And fear'st to die? Famine is in thy cheeks, 70 Need and oppression starveth in thine eyes, 71 Contempt and beggary hangs upon thy back; 72 The world is not thy friend nor the world's law; 73 The world affords no law to make thee rich; 74 Then be not poor, but break it, and take this.
Apothecary 75 My poverty, but not my will, consents.
ROMEO 76 I pay thy poverty, and not thy will.
Raffaele Nardella
ROMEO - Ehi, ho, speziale! [Entra lo SPEZIALE] SPEZIALE - Chi grida così?ROMEO - Senti, brav’uomo. Vedo che sei povero.Ho qui quaranta ducati per te: [offre il denaro] procurami una dose di veleno, ma qualcosa d’effetto così rapidoche si diffonda subito nel sanguee chi lo assuma, stanco di campare, cada subito, lì, morto stecchito,e il corpo gli si svuoti del suo fiatocon la violenza e la rapidità con cui esce la polvere da sparo,accesa, dalla bocca d’un cannone seminator di morte.SPEZIALE - Quella droga, signore, io ce l’ho, e micidiale. Ma la legge a Mantovapunisce con la morte chi la vende.ROMEO - E tu, miserabile e nudo come sei, tu hai paura di morire, ?Sulle tue guance si legge la fame,negli occhi t’agonizza la miseria ed il bisogno; porti appesi al collo visibilmente il disprezzo del prossimo e la più misera pezzenteria;il mondo non t’è amico, né ti fu mai amica la sua legge;il mondo non ha legge che faccia ricco uno come te.Allora, perché vuoi restare povero? Infrangila, la legge, e prendi questo!SPEZIALE - È la mia povertà che v’acconsente, non la mia volontà.ROMEO - Ed io pago di te la povertà, non già la volontà

ROMEO
112 Eyes, look your last
113 Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you 114 The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss 115 A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
[Kisses Juliet. Takes out the cup of poison.]
116 Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide! 117 Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on 118 The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark! 119 Here's to my love!
[Drinks.] 119 O true apothecary! 120 Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.
[Dies.]
Raffaele Nardella
ROMEO - Occhi, miratela un’ultima volta!,Braccia, carpitele l’estremo amplesso! E voi, mie labbra,porte del respiro, suggellate con un pudico bacioun contratto d’acquisto senza termine con l’eterna grossista ch’è la Morte![Bacia Giulietta. Estrae il veleno]Vieni, amarissima mia scorta, vieni, mia disgustosa guida. E tu, disperato nocchiero, ora scaglia a sconquassarsicontro quegli appuntiti ronchi il tuo barcoaffranto e tormentato dai marosiEcco, a te, amor mio![Beve]O fidato speziale!Le tue droghe sono davvero rapide d’effetto. Così, in un bacio, io muoio…(Muore)

JULIET 148 O comfortable friar, where is my lord? 149 I do remember well where I should be, 150 And there I am. Where is my Romeo?
(……………………………………………)
161 What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand? 162 Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end: 163 O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop 164 To help me after? I will kiss thy lips; 165 Haply some poison yet doth hang on them, 166 To make me die with a restorative.
[Kisses him.]
167 Thy lips are warm.
(……………………………………………)
169 Yea, noise? Then I'll be brief. O happy dagger!
[Snatching Romeo's dagger.]
170 This is thy sheath; [Stabs herself.] there rust, and let me die.
[Falls on Romeo's body, and dies.] Raffaele Nardella
GIULIETTA - Oh, Fra’ Lorenzo! Che conforto vedervi!… E il mio signore? Dov’è?… Ricordo bene adesso il luogo dove dovevo trovarmi per lui…e mi trovo… Ma il mio Romeo dov’è?(……………………………………………..)E questa che cos’è?… Tra le sue ditastringe una fiala il mio fedele amore?Veleno!… È stato questo la sua fine.Cattivo! L’hai bevuto fino in fondo, senza lasciarmene una goccia amicache m’avrebbe aiutato! Bacerò le tue labbra: c’è rimasto forse un po’ di veleno, a darmi morte come per un balsamico ristoro.[Lo bacia]Come son calde ancora le tue labbra!(………………………………………………)Ah, dei rumori… Allora non c’è tempo Pugnale benedetto!(Sfodera il pugnale di Romeo)Ecco il tuo fodero: [Si pugnala al petto] qui dentro arrugginisci, e dammi morte!(Cade sul corpo di Romeo e muore)

PRINCE 305 A glooming peace this morning with it brings; 306 The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head 307 Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things; 308 Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: 309 For never was a story of more woe 310 Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
Raffaele Nardella
PRINCIPE - Una ben triste pace è quella che ci reca questo giorno.Quest’oggi il sole, in segno di dolore, non mostrerà il suo volto, sulla terra.Ed ora andiamo via da questo luogo, per ragionare ancora tra di noi di tutti questi tristi accadimenti.Per essi, alcuni avranno il mio perdono, altri la loro giusta punizione;ché mai vicenda fu più dolorosa di questa di Giulietta e di Romeo.
