FRIAR JOHN

      Holy | Francis|can fri|ar, broth|er, ho?
 
[Enter FRIAR LAURENCE]
 
FRIAR LAURENCE
             ,            ,         ,         ,       ,
      This same | should be | the voice | of Fri|ar John.
       ,              ,    ,     ,          , 2
      Welcome | from Ma|ntua:| what says | Romeo?
       ,   2        ,         ,     ,              ,
      Or if his | mind be | writ, give / me his | letter.
 
FRIAR JOHN
       ,   2       ,        T    T   T        ,
      Going to | find a | bare-foot broth|er out,
       ,        ,   ,       2    ,        ,
      One of | our ord/er to as|soci|ate me,
        ,             ,     ,     ,          ,
      Here in | this ci|ty vis|iting | the sick,
           ,        ,          ,         ,         ,
      And find|ing him,| the search|ers of | the town
          ,               ,   ,          ,       ,
      Suspect|ing that / we both | were in | a house
        ,            ,    2    ,      ,           ,
      Where the | infec|tious pest|ilence | did reign,
         ,              ,           ,          ,         ,
      Sealed up | the doors,| and would | not let | us forth,
       ,             ,         ,   2    ,            ,
      So that | my speed | to Man|tua there | was stayed.
 
FRIAR LAURENCE
            ,        ,        ,        ,   ,
      Who bore | my let|ter then | to Rom|eo?
 
FRIAR JOHN
          ,           ,          ,        ,      ,
      I could | not send | it, here | it is | again,
           ,       ,      ,         ,          ,
      Nor get | a mes|senger | to bring | it thee,
           ,        ,          ,      ,     ,
      So fear|ful were | they of | infec|tion.
 
FRIAR LAURENCE
         ,      ,         ,       ,        ,
      Unhap|py for|tune: by | my broth|erhood
           ,             ,    ,          ,         ,
      The let|ter was / not nice,| but full | of charge,
           ,     ,  ,                  ,        ,
      Of dear | import,/ and the | neglect|ing it
           ,         ,        ,       ,         ,
      May do | much^dang|er: Fri|ar John | go hence,
       ,           ,      ,          ,           ,
      Get me | an ir|on crow,| and bring | it straight
       ,  2       ,
      Unto my | cell.
 
FRIAR JOHN
                        ,              ,         ,     2
                      Broth/er I'll | go and | bring it thee.
 
[Exit]
 
FRIAR LAURENCE
            ,       ,        ,     ,       ,
      Now must | I to | the mon|ument | alone,
          ,            ,            ,     ,        ,
      Within | three^hours | will fair | Juli|et wake,
            ,        ,          ,          ,   ,
      She will | beshrew | me much | that Rom|eo
            ,     ,  ,                  ,     ,
      Hath had | no no/tice of | these ac|cidents:
          ,          ,        ,        ,    ,
      But I | will write | again | to Man|tua,
            ,         ,        ,          ,  2    ,
      And keep | her at | my cell | till Rom|eo come,
             ,        ,        ,     2      T    T     T
      Poor* liv|ing corse,| closed in a | dead man's tomb.
