Juliet's Soliloquy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKKLKMKNLKK OPQKRFSKTUKVWTKKXYKE AKKUKcold fear thrills through my veins | A |
That almost freezes up the heat of life | B |
I'll call them back again to comfort me | C |
Nurse What should she do here | D |
My dismal scene I needs must act alone | E |
Come vial | F |
What if this mixture do not work at all | G |
Shall I be married then to morrow morning | H |
No No this shall forbid it lie thou there | I |
What if it be a poison which the friar | J |
Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead | K |
Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd | K |
Because he married me before to Romeo | L |
I fear it is and yet methinks it should not | K |
For he hath still been tried a holy man | M |
I will not entertain so bad a thought | K |
How if when I am laid into the tomb | N |
I wake before the time that Romeo | L |
Come to redeem me there's a fearful point | K |
Shall I not then be stifled in the vault | K |
To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in | O |
And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes | P |
Or if I live is it not very like | Q |
The horrible conceit of death and night | K |
Together with the terror of the place | R |
As in a vault an ancient receptacle | F |
Where for this many hundred years the bones | S |
Of all my buried ancestors are pack'd | K |
Where bloody Tybalt yet but green in earth | T |
Lies festering in his shroud where as they say | U |
At some hours in the night spirits resort | K |
Alack alack is it not like that I | V |
So early waking what with loathsome smells | W |
And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth | T |
That living mortals hearing them run mad | K |
O if I wake shall I not be distraught | K |
Environed with all these hideous fears | X |
And madly play with my forefathers' joints | Y |
And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud | K |
And in this rage with some great kinsman's bone | E |
As with a club dash out my desperate brains | A |
O look methinks I see my cousin's ghost | K |
Seeking out Romeo that did spit his body | K |
Upon a rapier's point stay Tybalt stay | U |
Romeo I come this do I drink to thee | K |
