- I fear, too early: for my mind misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.
But He, that hath the steerage of my course,
Direct my sail! On, lusty gentlemen. (1.4.104-113)
Romeo is saying he feels like he is going to die....
After everything happens the Friar is talking about how untimely his death was.
- I have night's cloak to hide me from their sight;
And but thou love me, let them find me here:
My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
- Friar Lawrence: "These violent delights have violent ends"
- Benvolio: "And if we meet we shall not scape a brawl/for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring"
- Romeo: "This day's black fate on more days doth depend, this but begins the woe other's must end"
- Mercutio: "A plague on both your houses"
