Apothecary Such mortal drugs I have; but Mantua's law Is death to any he that utters them.

Apothecary My poverty, but not my will, consents. ROMEO I pay thy poverty, and not thy will. Apothecary Put this in any liquid thing you will, And drink it off; and, if you had the strength Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight
