Juliet's bedroom. It is the same as it was left when Juliet drank the potion. Her dagger is still on the small table, and she is laying upon her bed.

Enter NURSE
Nurse Mistress! what, mistress! Juliet! fast, I warrant her, she:
Why, lamb! why, lady! fie, you slug-a-bed!
Why, love, I say! madam! sweet-heart! why, bride!
What, not a word? you take your pennyworths now;
Sleep for a week; for the next night, I warrant,
The County Paris hath set up his rest,
That you shall rest but little. God forgive me,
Marry, and amen, how sound is she asleep!
I must needs wake her. Madam, madam, madam!
Ay, let the county take you in your bed;
He'll fright you up, i' faith. Will it not be?

Undraws the curtains

What, dress'd! and in your clothes! and down again!
I must needs wake you; Lady! lady! lady!
Alas, alas! Help, help! my lady's dead!
O, well-a-day, that ever I was born!
Some aqua vitae, ho! My lord! my lady!
Enter LADY CAPULET
Lady Capulet What noise is here?
Nurse O lamentable day!
Lady Capulet What is the matter?
Nurse Look, look! O heavy day!
Lady Capulet O me, O me! My child, my only life,
Revive, look up, or I will die with thee!
Help, help! Call help.
Enter CAPULET
Capulet For shame, bring Juliet forth; her lord is come.
Nurse She's dead, deceased, she's dead; alack the day!
Lady Capulet Alack the day, she's dead, she's dead, she's dead!
Capulet Ha! let me see her: out, alas! she's cold:
Her blood is settled, and her joints are stiff;
Life and these lips have long been separated:
Death lies on her like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field.
Nurse O lamentable day!
Lady Capulet O woful time!
Capulet Death, that hath ta'en her hence to make me wail,
Ties up my tongue, and will not let me speak.
Enter FRIAR LAURENCE and PARIS, with Musicians
