can you translate Shakespear roughly into a modern version?
Romeo: no matter, get thee gone
and hire those horses, i'll be with thee straight
well, juliet, i will lie with thee tonight
Let's see for means. O mischief, though art swift
To enter in the thought of desperate men
I do remeber an apothecary
and hereabout' a dwells, which late I noted
in tatter'd weeds, with overwhelming brows
culling of simples;meagre were his looks
sharp misery had worn him to the bones
and in his needy shop a tortoise hung
an alligator stuff'd, and other skins
of ill-sharp'd fishes, and about his shelves
A beggarly account of empty boxes
green earthen pots, bladders, and musty seeds
remnants of packthread, and old cakes of roses
were thinly scatter'd, to make up a show
nothing this penury, to myself i said
and if a man did need a poison now
whose sale is present death in Mantua
here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him
o this same thought did but forerun my need
and this same needy man must sell it me.
He had just heard from a guy that Juliet was dead, when she really only faked her own death to be with Romeo. He wants a posion to kill himself with because he cannot live without Juliet. He then goes to get the potion from an apothecary which is equal to a pharmacist today.
