And thou and Romeo press one heavy bier!

Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress-trees
Who, hopeless, lays his dead read more

Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mournful marbles play!

Do not repent these things, for they are heavier
Than all thy woes can stir. Therefore betake thee
To nothing but despair.
