Goodbye! God knows when we will see each other again.
There is a cold feeling of fear piercing the blood all over my body,
almost freezing the warmth of my life:
I want to call them back to comfort me : Nanny! What's the use of calling her here?
My desolate scene must be played by myself.
Here, medicine bottle.
What if this medicine doesn’t work?
Then when you wake up tomorrow morning, won’t you still have to get married?
No, no; this can be prepared, just put it here.
(Place a dagger)
In case this is really poison, the priest cunningly asked me to take it and kill me,
so as not to be here He was in great disgrace in the new engagement, because he had married me and Romeo first, so what should I do?
I am afraid it will be like this: but, I think, it is not that,
He has always been a just, holy man.
I can't have such bad thoughts.
What if I was placed in the tomb and woke up before Romeo could save me?
This is so scary! At that time, wouldn’t I be suffocating in a cave without any fresh air?
Am I going to be suffocated to death before my Romeo comes?
Even if I don’t feel suffocated to death, the terror of thinking about death and night,
Coupled with the gloominess of that place,
For hundreds of years I The bones of ancestors were piled up there;
The bloody Tybalt who had just been buried began to rot;
As they say, within a few hours at night, ghosts gather In that place:
Alas, alas! I am in it,
If I wake up too early, I smell the filthy smell, coupled with the maddening scream:
Ah! If I wake up,
with these horrible things surrounding me, will I go crazy,
and dance like crazy with the bones of my ancestors,
< p>Drag the disabled Tybalt out of his shroud?And when he was so crazy, he picked up an ancestor's bone,
like a stick, and beat himself desperately until his brains burst out?
Ah, look! I seemed to see the ghost of my cousin looking for Romeo who had pierced his body with the sword.
Stop, Tybalt, stop!
Romeo, here I come! I drink this for you.
