DUKE

               Love you the man that wrong’d you?



              JULIET
               Yes, as I love the woman that wrong’d him. [25]



              DUKE
               So then it seems your most offenceful act
               Was mutually committed?



              JULIET
                               Mutually.



              DUKE

               Then was your sin of heavier kind than his.


              JULIET

               I do confess it, and repent it, father.



              DUKE
               ’Tis meet so, daughter; but lest you do repent, [30]
               At that the sin hath brought you to this shame,
               Which sorrow is always toward ourselves, not heaven,
               Showing we would not spare heaven as we love it,

               But as we stand in fear −



              JULIET
               I do repent me as it is an evil, [35]
               And take the shame with joy.



              DUKE
                               There rest.

               Your partner, as I hear, must die tomorrow,
               And I am going with instruction to him.
               Grace go with you: Benedicite!
                                                                                                             Exit.
