[IV, i, 60-65]   Hold, then. Go home, be merry, give consent To marry Paris. Wednesday is tomorrow. Tomorrow night look that thou lie alone; Let not the nurse lie with thee in thy chamber. Take thou this vial, being then in bed, And this distilling liquor drink thou off; When presently through all thy veins shall run A cold and drowsy humor, for no pulse Shall keep his native progress, but surcease; No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou livest; [IV, i, 89-98] Speaker:________________ Poetic Device: __________________ Explanation/Summary:____________________________ __________________________________________________

There she lies, Flower as she was, deflowered by him.
