Description

(1.) Read the excerpt from The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare:

 
FRIAR LAWRENCE
For naught so vile that on the Earth doth live
But to the Earth some special good doth give;
Nor aught so good that but, strained from that fair use,
Revolts from true birth, stumbling upon abuse.
Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied,
And vice sometime by action dignified.
—act 2, scene 3

CAPULET
Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender
Of my child’s love. I think she will be ruled
In all respects by me. Nay, more, I doubt it not.—
Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed.
Acquaint her here of my son Paris' love,
And bid her—mark you me?—on Wednesday next—
But, soft, what day is this?
—act 3, scene 4

A son, a son is born at last;

Yet, in less than six weeks dead.
