act 3 scene 1 My blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding;
But I’ll amerce you with so strong a fi ne That you shall all repent the loss of mine: I will be deaf to pleading and excuses; Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses: Therefore use none: let Romeo hence in haste,
Else, when he’s found, that hour is his last. Bear hence this body and attend our will: Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
Exeunt 195

amerce punish with a fi ne
purchase out make excuses for your actions
Mercy but murders being merciful only leads to more murder
