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. |
| 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? |
| |
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! |
| Lady Capulet |
What noise is here? |
| 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! |
| 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. |
| 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. |
