Part II. A street near _Capulet's_ house. _Stephano_, having vainly

sought _Romeo_, and thinking he still may be in concealment in _Capulet's_ garden, sings a ditty likely to rouse the temper of the Capulet household, and bring its retainers into the street, thus affording _Romeo_ a chance to get away. The ditty is "Que fais-tu, blanche tourterelle" (Gentle dove, why art thou clinging?). _Gregory_ and _Stephano_ draw and fight. The scene develops, as in the play. Friends of the two rival houses appear. _Mercutio_ fights _Tybalt_ and is slain, and is avenged by _Romeo_, who kills _Tybalt_, _Juliet's_ kinsman, and, in consequence, is banished from Verona by the _Duke_.
