The Guilt of a Friar

The Guilt of a Friar

Friar Laurence: [aside] Friar John, my companion throughout time My guilt weighs down on me this weary day It seems now I’ve committed such a foul crime Should I doth run away from it or stay? How do I stand to face what I have done? Will there be prices to negotiate and pay? Will God’s displeasure match the fire of the sun? Let his dearly will be done as it may Oh Romeo, how could I have steered you so wrong? I have hurt thy reputation, and failed to save it Juliet, how could I have made you sing the widow’s song? Your heart hast been broken twice, and on a throne of guilt I sit Between stay or swiftly run away I choose to admit my faults today
