Read the excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet . Prince : Romeo slew him, he slew Mercutio; Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe? Montague : Not Romeo, prince, he was Mercutio’s friend, (155) His fault concludes but what the law should end, The life of Tybalt. Prince : And for that offence Immediately we do exile him hence: I have an interest in your hate’s proceeding, (160) My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding; But I’ll amerce you with so strong a fine That you shall all repent the loss of mine.
