ACT V
SCENE I. Mantua. A street
Enter Romeo
ROMEO
If dreams are real, My dreams have some joyful news;
My heart full of love;
And all today an unaccustomed spirit
Lifts me up with cheerful thoughts.
I had a dream where my lady found me dead--
It was strange, gives a dead person time to think!
I came to life when kisses touched my lips, I was alive, and I was an emperor.

It is the bastard Montague, the one who was banished. He is the one that murdered my love’s cousin Tybalt. They all think she died of grief for him. That guy has come to commit crimes against dead bodies. I’ll catch him.
Stop your evil work, vile Montague! Can you take revenge on dead bodies? Condemned villain, I’ve caught you. Obey and come with me. You must die.
ROMEO

Let them put fear in their hearts. Please, young man, don’t make me angry. I don’t want to make another sin. Oh, leave me! I swear, I love you more than I love myself. For I’ve come here with weapons to use against myself. Don’t stay here, go away. Live, and from now on, say a madman mercifully told you to run away.
PARIS
I do resist
