To marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow. Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone; Let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy chamber.
Friar Lawrence tells him he is lucky: the Prince has only banished him. Romeo claims that banishment is a penalty far worse than death, since he will have to live, but without Juliet.
Before Juliet arrives Romeo and Friar Laurence talk. Friar Laurence prays that God will bless the wedding regardless of what else might happen to the couple, and warns that “things” that happen so fast often end just as quickly (and explosively).
Friar Lawrence counsels Romeo to love moderately and not with too much intensity, saying, “these violent delights have violent ends” (2.6. 9). Juliet enters and Romeo asks her to speak poetically of her love.
Let not thy nurse lie with thee in thy chamber. Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilled liquor drink thou off. Shall keep his native progress, but surcease.
