Romeo and Juliet die:

Juliet :(waking) What's here ? a cup, closed in my true love's hand ?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end
O, churl, drunk all, and left no friendly drop to help me after ?

Romeo :Eyes, look your last !
Arms, take your last embrace ! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death !

Juliet :I will kiss thy lips ;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make me die with a restorative.
Thy lips are warm.

Romeo :O true apothecary !
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.

Juliet :Yea, noise ? Then I'll be brief. O happy dagger !
This is thy sheath, there rust, and let me die.
