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. |
