Read the excerpt from Act III, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence: Go hence; good-night; and here stands all your state: Either be gone before the watch be set,175Or by the break of day disguis’d from hence: Sojourn in Mantua; I’ll find out your man, And he shall signify from time to time Every good hap to you that chances here. Give me thy hand; ’tis late: farewell; goodnight.180
Friar Laurence tells Romeo he must leave before the watch is set or by daybreak, and directs him to stay in Mantua. These specific deadlines and instructions create a sense of urgency. The passage focuses on immediate action, not romance or confusion.
