JULIET
Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend!
Is it more sin to wish me thus forsworn,
Or to dispraise my lord with that same tongue
Which she hath praised him with above compare
So many thousand times? Go, counselor.
Thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain.
I’ll to the friar to know his remedy.
If all else fail, myself have power to die.

JULIET
That damned old lady! Oh, that most wicked fiend! Is it a worse
sin for her to want me to break my vows or for her to say bad things
about my husband after she praised him so many times before? Away
with you and your advice, Nurse. From now on, I will never tell you
what I feel in my heart. I’m going to the Friar to find out
his solution. If everything else fails, at least I have the power to
take my own life.
