Marked words are the most distinguishing words of T1: death, life, dead, die, blood, revenge, soul, father, heart, heaven.

Well, I'll be gone and not trouble you. So shalt thou win my favour, take thou this, Commend me to my Father, farewell good fellow. Yet for all this will I not part from hence. Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death, Gorde with the dearest morsel of the earth. Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open. This is that banished haughty Mountague, That murdered my loves cozen, I will apprehend him. Stop thy unhallowed toil vile Mountague. Can vengeance be pursued further than death? I do attach thee as a felon here. The Law condemns thee, therefore thou must die, I must indeed, and therefore came I hither, Good youth begone, tempt not a desperate man. Heap not another sin upon my head By shedding of thy blood, I do protest I love thee better than I love myself: For I come hither armed against myself, I do defy thy conjurations: And do attach thee as a felon here. What dost thou tempt me, then have at thee boy. O Lord they fight, I will go call the watch. Ah I am slain, if thou be merciful Open the tomb, lay me with Iuliet. I'faith I will, let me peruse this face, Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris? What said my man, when my betossed soul Did not regard him as we passed a long. Did he not say Paris should have married Iuliet? either he said so, or I dreamt it so. But I will satisfy thy last request, For thou hast prized thy love above thy life. Death lie thou there, by a dead man interred, How oft have many at the hour of death been blithe and pleasant? which their keepers call A lightning before death But how may I Call this a lightning. Ah dear Iuliet, How well thy beauty doth become this grave? O I believe that unsubstanciall death, Is amorous, and doth court my love. Therefore will I, O here, O ever here, Set up my everlasting rest With worms, that are thy chamber maids. Come desperate Pilot now at once run on The dashing rocks thy seasick weary barge. Heers to my love. O true Apothecary: Thy drugs are swift: thus with a kiss I die. How oft to night have these my aged feet Stumbled at graves as I did pass along. Whose there? A friend and one that knows you well. Who is it that consorts so late the dead, What light is yond? if I be not deceived, Me thinks it burns in Capulets monument? It doth so holy Sir, and there is one That loves you dearly. Who is it? Romeo. How long hath he been there? Full half an hour and more. Go with me thither. I dare not sir, he knows not I am here: On pain of death he charged me to be gone, And not for to disturb him in his enterprise.
