Thanks, Nepenthes, for the key.
The stage is dark and empty,
and the audience has gone home.
Once more, how many times before!
has Romeo lost his Juliet, and has Juliet lost her Romeo,
and the whole audience went home crying,
and how many times before!
Must love then be a tragedy,
in order to make tragedy become a love,
surviving by repeatedly continue dying,
so by dying it will never die,
like that old love of Juliet and Romeo?
And yet, the play is false, it is a lie,
for in the first original we find a different testimony
of what really happened: Romeo was actually alive
when Juliet woke up from her phoney sleep,
so they could once again embrace and cry together
just to make things worse,
since Romeo was poisoned anyway, -
two suicides for love, for nothing, for each other
for a perfect entertainment of all times
to make all mankind sob forever
for this tragedy of love
which turned into a love of tragedy
to keep love growing and sustained forever.

Some comedy
