I wonder how the King escaped our hands

Warwick
I wonder how the King escaped our hands.
York
While we pursued the horsemen of the north,
He slyly stole away and left his men;
Whereat the great lord of Northumberland,
Whose warlike ears could never brook retreat,
Cheered up the drooping army; and himself,

Lady Montague
O, where is Romeo? Saw you him today?
Right glad I am he was not at this fray.
Benvolio

Where be these enemies?—Capulet, Montague,

Read the Quote

Where be these enemies?—Capulet, Montague,
See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,
That heaven finds means to kill your joys with love,Paradox
And I, for winking at your discords too,
Have lost a brace of kinsmen. All are punished.

See what a scourge is laid upon your hate,

Capulet
