1. Mercutio's death
(NIV)
I am hurt.
A plague o' both your houses! I am spent.
Is he gone, and hath nothing?
Ay, ay, a scratch, a scratch; marry, 'tis enough.
Where is my page? Go villian, fetch a surgeon.
No, 'tis enough, 'twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow,
And you shall find me a grave man. I am
Peppered, I warrant, for this world. A plague 'o both your houses!
'Zounds, a dog, a rat, a mouse, a cat, to scratch a man to death! A braggart, a rouge, a villain, that fights by the book of arithmetic!
(To Romeo)
Why the devil cam you between us?
I was hurt under your arm.
Help me into some house, benvolio,
Or I shall faint. A plague on both your houses!
They have made worms meat of me: I have it,
And soundly too. Your houses!
(He dies)
