Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the other five acts of the play. They are the ideas of the brilliant William Shakespeare. (I also stole the format from my textbook. :D)

This was a project for my English class and the task was to write Act VI of Romeo and Juliet. The act has to have 3 scenes that describe what happens to the remaining characters in the play. I had to use some Shakespearian words, so yes at times it is sort of goofy. I wasn't even going to upload it here, but I'm actually quite proud of how it's turned out, so here it is. Enjoy.

Act VI

Scene 1: The Prince's court.

[Enter FRIAR escorted by two guards.]

Prince.
Friar Laurence, I doth know thee to be a good holy man,
But thou hath to understand thine actions are inexcusable.

Friar.
Mine Prince and master, I doth know this 'tis true.
I accept the consequences of mine actions
And await what punishment thou seest fit.

Prince.
Well, good holy man, thine crimes need be stated.
Thou married the young Romeo and Juliet in secret,
Deceiving both their parents
And doing so without their consent.
Because of the ignorance of the Capulets,
Juliet wast ne'r wed for a second time
To the poor County Paris,
Which thou knowst is sin in God's eyes.
Thou deceivéd all again whenst,
From thy mix of herbs,
Hath Juliet feign death.
'Tis this last wrong-doing
that hath causéd so much grief.
'Tis thy variable plan that failed so catastrophically.
For 'tis thine letter the banished Romeo didn't receive,
So whenst he came unto the tome,
He assuméd the only sleeping Juliet
To hath been taken ast
An eternal prisoner by death's pale grip.
And thenceforth, too stricken with grief to live,
He doth down his mortal poison.
But stay! 'twould be a blessing did the number dead stop hence.
Romeo 'tis not the only victim of the thine misgivings
For the sleeping Juliet then stirred from her slumber
To find her husband newly dead.
Thou claimst that thou offered her the work of God
Only to flee following her refusal.
After which 'tis known she doth took her life.
That brings thy death toll up to two,
But we shalln't forget the County Paris.
He who doth lose a duel with Romeo
Trying to protect his beloved and appearéd dead Juliet.
That sums the blood on thine hands
To that of three young lives.
So what have thee to say for thyself?

Friar.
'Tis mine deepest regret that so many so young should parish.
'Tis also mine regret that the fault 'tis mostly mine.
I wish God hadst allowed his characters play differently,
That the lives of the young lovers and the County Paris
Might hath been spared.
I know the weight of the blood on mine hands
And I'm ready for mine sentence; to redeem what I can.

Prince.
Thou wilt be sent thither; away from Fair Verona.
O'er near the Thieves' Woods.
'Tis hither thou wilt stay for the remainder of thine days,
And thou wilt liveth amongst the lepers.
'Twill be thine duty to care for them
And be their connection to the Lord
In their few last moments of their life.
Thou wilt ne'er set foot in Verona again
Nor wilt thou set foot in any town again,
For I wilt sendth the word far and wide
Of that of Friar Laurence's sentence.
Thou wilt be banned from society
And thine name wilt be spoken
With all the maledictions credited to a leper.
Thou wilt not be forgotten,
But instead rememberéd in disgust,
Thine name uttered in hate
From only the lips of the lowest scum.

[Exit FRIAR escorted by two guards, leaving PRINCE alone.]

Oh Lord, if only thou couldst see
To kill a holy man, a blessing couldst sometimes be.

I want to end all the scenes with rhymes because well, just because really. So what do you think? Is this believable? Fair punishment? Did I get the characterisation right? (Because I don't feel I really got it, but I'm honestly just happy that I finally wrote it. Still let me know.)

If you took the time to read this work that I slaved over (OK more like procrastinated by staring at a blank screen for a few hours :D) then I would love to hear your thoughts.
