Go, get you gone. What lamb, what Lady bird? fast I warrant. What Iuliet? well▪ let the County take you in your bed▪ ye sleep for a week now, but the next night, the County Paris hath set up his rest that you shall rest but little. What lamb I say, fast still: what Lady, Love, what bride, what Iuliet? God's me how sound she sleeps? Nay then I see I must wake you indeed. What's here, laid on your bed, dressed in your clothes and down, ah me, alack the day, some Aqua vitae ho. How now what's the matter? Alack the day, she's dead, she's dead, she's dead. Accursed, unhappy, miserable time. Come, come, make haste, where's my daughter? Ah she's dead, she's dead. Stay, let me see, all pale and wan. Accursed time, unfortunate old man. What is the bride ready to go to Church? Ready to go, but never to return. O Son the night before thy wedding day, Hath Death lain with thy bride, flower as she is, Deflowered by him, see, where she lies, Death is my Soon in Law, to him I give all that I have, Have I thought long to see this morning's face, And doth it now present such prodigies? Accursed, unhappy, miserable man, Forlorn, forsaken, destitute I am: Borne to the world to be a slave in it. Distressed, remediless, and unfortunate. O heavens, O nature, wherefore did you make me, To live so vile, so wretched as I shall. O here she lies that was our hope, our joy, And being dead, dead sorrow nips us all. And all our joy, and all our hope is dead, Dead, lost, undone, absented, wholly fled. Cruel, unjust, impartial destinies, Why to this day have you preserved my life? To see my hope, my stay, my joy, my life, Deprived of sense, of life, of all by death, Cruel, unjust, impartial destinies. O sad faced sorrow map of misery, Why this sad time have I desired to see. This day, this unjust, this impartial day Wherein I hoped to see my comfort full, To be deprived by sudden destiny. O woe, alack, distressed, why should I live? To see this day, this miserable day. Alack the time that ever I was borne. To be partaker of this destiny. Alack the day, alack and welladay. O peace for shame, if not for charity. Your daughter lives in peace and happiness, And it is vain to wish it otherwise. Come stick your Rosemary in this dead coarse, And as the custom of our Country is, In all her best and sumptuous ornaments, Convey her where her Ancestors lie tombed, Let it be so, come woeful sorrow mates, Let vs together taste this bitter ae. Put up, put up, this is a woeful case. I by my troth Mistress is it, it had need be mended. Alack alack what shall I do, come Fiddlers play me some merry dump. A sir, this is no time to play. You will not then? No marry will we.
