Another Wedding

I watched from my lonely cell as daybreak slowly came. The harsh cries of the lark breaks through the dark silence...

Last night, I bid young Romeo goodbye and good luck as he left for Juliet's chamber, seeking for a night to themselves before Romeo slips away from Verona to Mantua, where he will lodged until a time when he is safe to return. He should have left his Lady now, and be on his way to Mantua. Bless the boy... Be safe....

Oh! Who would come here in this early morn? Why, if it isn't the noble Count Paris. So, Paris, what bids you here to my humble cell in the young hours of the day?

Oh dear! Lord Capulet has given his blessing and agreement for Juliet to be made a wife of Paris. How could this happen now, with Juliet already a wife and mistress. And to plan it so soon, Thursday, young man that is too fast, surely that is mistaken, when not so long ago, dark luck befell on this household.

'My father Capulet will have it so,
And I am nothing slow to slack his haste.'

Ah...You speak of two yet where is the third, has young Juliet given consent to this?

So it seems, her tears have her retreated to her chamber and has spared no time for the talk of love for you... Her father must be in haste to clear away thoughts of death and sorrow in the house.
