Dialogue
Juliet: "What's here? A cup, closed in my true love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end.
O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips--
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them
To make me die with a restorative. [Kisses him]
Thy lips are warm.... (V.iii.161-166)
"O happy dagger!
This is thy sheath. [Stabs herself] There rust, and let me die." (V.iii.169-170)
