Read the following lines from Act V, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet:

Prince: This letter doth make good the friar’s words, Their course of love, the tidings of her death: 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.-- Where be these enemies?--Capulet,--Montague,--See what a scourge is laid upon your hate, That Heaven finds means to kill your joys with love!”

What does scourge mean as it is used in these lines?
