Romeo and Juliet: Prince Recitation: Act 1, Scene 1 Lines 83-105

Line 83	Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace,
Line 84	Profaners of this neighbor-stained steel-
Line 85	Will they not hear? – What ho! You men, you beast,
Line 86	That quench the fire of your pernicious rage
Line 87	With purple fountains issuing from your viens:
Line 88	On pain of torture, from those bloody hands
Line 89	Throw your mistempered weapons to the ground,
Line 90 (ACCENT MARK)	And hear the sentence of your movéd prince.
Line 91	Three civil brawls bred of an airy word
Line 92	By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,
Line 93	Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streets
Line 94	And made Verona’s ancient citizens
Line 95	Cast by their grave-beseeming ornaments
Line 96	To wield old partisans in hands as old,
Line 97	Cankered with peace, to part your cankered hate.
Line 98	If ever you disturb our streets again,
Line 99	Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.
Line 100	For this time all the rest depart away.
Line 101	You, Capulet, shall go along with me,
Line 102	And, Montague, come you this afternoon
Line 103	To know our farther pleasure in this case,
Line 104	To old Free-town, our common judgment-place.
Line 105	Once more, on pain of death, all men depart.
