A letter from Romeo

After Romeo is dead they find a letter he wrote, that he apparently intended someone to find near his body. The Prince (chief of police and mayor of Verona all in one) read the letter. In lines 288-290 the Prince mentions it:
And here he writes that he did buy a poison
Of a poor pothecary, and therewithal
Came to this vault to die, and lie with Juliet.
That's all we know of the letter.
I would like you to pretend you are Romeo, in a hurry to go to Juliet's sepulchre and die, but wanting everyone to know what happened to you. Write a short letter to the people of Verona explaining whatever you think needs explaining.

Do you understand what he is saying?

Romeo is about to kill himself. Translate these passages into modern English for me:
1.How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry, which their keepers call
A light'ning before death

2. Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath no power yet upon thy beauty

3. Ah, dear Juliet
Why are thou yet so fair?

4. I still will stay with thee,
And never from this palace of dim night
Depart again.

5. Eyes look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing Death!

If Juliet had awakened

Read lines 50-78. What happens?
Now imagine that Juliet wakes up at this point. She sees Romeo. She also sees Paris' dead body. What do you think she would have done at that point? Would she run off with Romeo? Would she be upset with him and want nothing to do with him? Explain why you think so. As always very short answers will not receive full credit.

Why does Romeo lie?

Read Act 5, scene 3, lines 1 to 44. Notice lines 28-32. Romeo lies to Balthazar, his servant.
Why I descend into this bed of death
Is partly to behold my lady's face,
But chiefly to take thence from her dead finger
A precious ring, a ring that I must use
In dear employment
You know a bit about Romeo and the situation he's in. Tell me why he isn't truthful with his servant. Minimum three sentences.

Who's to blame?

During the Middle Ages not much was known about germs or infection. People knew that once one person got sick there was a good chance his neighbors and friends would be similarly afflicted. The only remedy they could come up with was to lock sick people up in their houses until they either died or got better.
In lines 5 to 12 of this scene Friar John (the man who was supposed to go to Mantua to alert Romeo to the ruse that Friar Laurence had devised) tells of being locked in a house with sick people.
The result was that Romeo never got the message. I'd like you to assign blame for this (fatal) lapse. Who screwed up? And please explain exactly how you think this person screwed up.
Answers of one sentence or overly short answers will not receive full credit.

Romeo's dream

At the beginning of this scene, Act 5, scene 1, lines 5-9 Romeo tells us a little about a dream he had in Mantua. He's exiled and living in another city but he's happy and expects to see Juliet again soon. He says:
I dreamt my lady came and found me dead
(Strange dream that gives a dead man leave to think!)
And breathed such life with kisses in my lips
That I revived and was emporer.
But that's all he tells us. I'd like you to fill in the blanks of this dream. What exactly did he see, what was the place in his dreams like? Were there colors? What does an Emporer look like? Dreams are always different from real life. Describe Romeo's dream in detail. Minimum 50 words.
