Romeo is crying about his banishment. The Friar lists a few of Romeo's many fortunes.

-Prince didn't kill him for fighting and Tybalts death.

-Juliet is alive

- Tybalt didn't kill him

What, rouse thee, man! Thy Juliet is alive, For whose dear sake thou wast but lately dead— There art thou happy. Tybalt would kill thee, But thou slew’st Tybalt—there art thou happy. The law that threatened death becomes thy friend 140And turns it to exile—there art thou happy. A pack of blessings light upon thy back, Happiness courts thee in her best array,
