In 1672, English poet John Dryden wrote, "Shakespeare show'd the best of his skill in his Mercutio, and he said himself, that he was forced to murder him in the third Act, to being killed by him."
في عام 1672 ، قال الشاعر الإنجليزي جون درايدن "شكسبير أظهر أفضل ما عنده في شخصية ماركيشيو، وقال ، أنه أجبر على قتله في الفصل الثالث من القصة".
