Mantua

It has been a few days after my last night with my loving Juliet. Balthasar had went to find me in Mantua and told me that Juliet is well, since although her body is dead, her soul is with the angels. As soon as Balthasar saw Juliet in the tomb, he immediately rode to Mantua to tell me. Balthasar asked forgiveness for bringing the bad news but reminds me that I had given Balthasar the duty of bringing important news. I told Balthasar to wait with the horses and I will be back in a few.
When I left I angrily challenged fate, which had caused me so much grief. I had to find a way to join Juliet in death. I got it, I will go to a apothecary and ask for poison. Although it is a crime to sell poison, the apothecary is such a miserable person that he would probably do it for the money anyways. With fourty ducats I asked for the fastest-acting poison. It was hard trying to buy the poison from the apothecary. He was saying that he has such deadly drugs, but selling them is a crime punishable by death.
Frustrated, I argued that the man lives in such misery he had no reason to fear death or the law. He finally gave in saying that he is doing this for the money, not because he thinks its right. I quickly replied I'm not paying your conscience, and left the shop. Im going to see Juliet.

This will be the last post that I make, for I will be with my dear Juliet in the heavens above. Good-bye......
