Which lines in this excerpt from act V of Romeo and Juliet show that the Capulet-Montague feud has brought tragedy not only to the two fam
but also to other families in Verona?
PRINCE ESCALUS: This letter doth make good the friar's words,
Their course of love, the tidings of her death:
And here he writes that he did buy poison
Of a poor 'pothecary, and therewithal
Came to this vault die, and lie with Juliet.
Where be these enemies? Capulet! Montague!
See, what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love.
And I for winking at your discords too
Have lost a brace of kinsmen: all are punish'd.
CAPULET: O brother Montague, give me thy hand:
This is my daughter's jointure, for no more
Can I demand.
MONTAGUE: But I can give thee more:
For I will raise her statue in pure gold;
That while Verona by that name is known,
There shall no figure at such rate be set
As that of true and faithful Juliet.
CAPULET: As rich shall Romeo's by his lady's lie;
Poor sacrifices of our enmity!
PRINCE ESCALUS: A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more alk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
