Above the clouds, as high as heaven itself?
|
O, in this love, you love your child so ill,
|
That you run mad, seeing that she is well:
|
She's not well married that lives married long;
|
But she's best married that dies married young.
|
Dry up your tears, and stick your rosemary
|
On this fair corse; and, as the custom is,
|
In all her best array bear her to church:
|
For though fond nature bids us an lament,
|
Yet nature's tears are reason's merriment.
|
CAPULET:
|
All things that we ordained festival,
|
Turn from their office to black funeral;
|
Our instruments to melancholy bells,
|
Our wedding cheer to a sad burial feast,
|
Our solemn hymns to sullen dirges change,
|
Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse,
|
And all things change them to the contrary.
|
FRIAR LAURENCE:
|
Sir, go you in; and, madam, go with him;
|
And go, Sir Paris; every one prepare
|
To follow this fair corse unto her grave:
|
The heavens do lour upon you for some ill;
|
Move them no more by crossing their high will.
|
First Musician:
|
Faith, we may put up our pipes, and be gone.
|
Nurse:
|
Honest goodfellows, ah, put up, put up;
|
For, well you know, this is a pitiful case.
|
First Musician:
|
Ay, by my troth, the case may be amended.
|
PETER:
|
Musicians, O, musicians, 'Heart's ease, Heart's
|
ease:' O, an you will have me live, play 'Heart's ease.'
|
First Musician:
|
Why 'Heart's ease?'
|
PETER:
|
O, musicians, because my heart itself plays 'My
|
heart is full of woe:' O, play me some merry dump,
|
to comfort me.
|
First Musician:
|
Not a dump we; 'tis no time to play now.
|
PETER:
|
You will not, then?
|
First Musician:
|
No.
|
PETER:
|
I will then give it you soundly.
|
First Musician:
|
What will you give us?
|
PETER:
|
No money, on my faith, but the gleek;
|
I will give you the minstrel.
|
First Musician:
|
Then I will give you the serving-creature.
|
PETER:
|
Then will I lay the serving-creature's dagger on
|
your pate. I will carry no crotchets: I'll re you,
|
I'll fa you; do you note me?
|
First Musician:
|
An you re us and fa us, you note us.
|
Second Musician:
|
Pray you, put up your dagger, and put out your wit.
|
PETER:
|
Then have at you with my wit! I will dry-beat you
|
with an iron wit, and put up my iron dagger. Answer
|
me like men:
|
'When griping grief the heart doth wound,
|
And doleful dumps the mind oppress,
|
Then music with her silver sound'--
|
why 'silver sound'? why 'music with her silver
|
sound'? What say you, Simon Catling?
|
Musician:
|
Marry, sir, because silver hath a sweet sound.
|
PETER:
|
Pretty! What say you, Hugh Rebeck?
|
Second Musician:
|
I say 'silver sound,' because musicians sound for silver.
