What does scourge mean as it is used in 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 pestilence mean as it is used in the following lines from Act V, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet?
Friar John: Going to find a barefoot brother out,
One of our order, to associate me,
Here in this city visiting the sick,
And finding him, the searchers of the town,
Suspecting that we both were in a house Where the infectious pestilence did reign,
Seal’d up the doors, and would not let us forth;
So that my speed to Mantua there was stay’d.
