Romeo's Foreboding

Ben. This wind you talke of blowes vs from our selues,
Supper is done, and we shall come too late
Rom. I feare too early, for my mind misgiues,
Some consequence yet hanging in the starres,
Shall bitterly begin his fearefull date
With this nights reuels, and expire the tearme
Of a despised life clos'd in my brest:
By some vile forfeit of vntimely death.
But he that hath the stirrage of my course,
Direct my sute: on lustie Gentlemen
Ben. Strike Drum.
