Juliets last monolouge ?

Question

what is the monologue that's juliet says right before she drinks the poison ?

Answer 1

The"O Happy Dagger" speech is before she stabs herself not before she drinks the potion. (It is not poison, by the way, because it doesn't really kill her.)  Here is the text of the monologue:

Farewell!—God knows when we shall meet again.

15 I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins

  That almost freezes up the heat of life.

  I'll call them back again to comfort me.—

  Nurse!—What should she do here?

My dismal scene I needs must act alone.

20 Come, vial. (holds out the vial)

  What if this mixture do not work at all?

  Shall I be married then tomorrow morning?

  No, no. This shall forbid it. Lie thou there.

  (lays her knife down)  

25 What if it be a poison, which the friar

  Subtly hath ministered to have me dead,

  Lest in this marriage he should be dishonored

  Because he married me before to Romeo?

  I fear it is. And yet, methinks, it should not,

30 For he hath still been tried a holy man.

  How if, when I am laid into the tomb,

  I wake before the time that Romeo

  Come to redeem me? There's a fearful point.

  Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault

35 To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,

  And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?

  Or, if I live, is it not very like

  The horrible conceit of death and night,

  Together with the terror of the place—

40 As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,

  Where for these many hundred years the bones

  Of all my buried ancestors are packed;

  Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth,

  Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,

45 At some hours in the night spirits resort—?

  Alack, alack, is it not like that I,

  So early waking, what with loathsome smells,

  And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth,

  That living mortals, hearing them, run mad—?

50 Oh, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,

  Environèd with all these hideous fears,

  And madly play with my forefather's joints,

  And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud,

  And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone,

55 As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?

  Oh, look! Methinks I see my cousin's ghost

  Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body

  Upon a rapier's point. Stay, Tybalt, stay!

  Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here's drink. I drink to thee.

Answer 2

O happy dagger, / This is thy sheath! There rust, and let me die"
