| LADY CAPULET Accursed, unhappy, wretched, hateful day! 45 Most miserable hour that eer time saw In lasting labor of his pilgrimage.

| FRIAR LAWRENCE Peace, ho, for shame! Confusions cure lives not In these confusions. Heaven and yourself Had part in this fair maid. Now heaven hath all, | RAIRF CEAWNRLE Be teiuq, fro ashme! eTh ucer rfo sicoonnfu is ton inylelg adn aemircsgn. Yuo had sthi lhicd tihw hte help of ahnvee. wNo enahve has hre. |
| And all the better is it for the maid. 70 Your part in her you could not keep from death, But heaven keeps his part in eternal life. The most you sought was her promotion, For twas your heaven she should be advanced. And weep ye now, seeing she is advanced 75 Above the clouds, as high as heaven itself? Oh, in this love, you love your child so ill That you run mad, seeing that she is well. Shes not well married that lives married long, But shes best married that dies married young. 80 Dry up your tears and stick your rosemary On this fair corse, and, as the custom is, And in her best array, bear her to church. For though some nature bids us all lament, Yet natures tears are reasons merriment. | ehS is in a rtebet eplac.

| CAPULET 85 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, 90 Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corse, And all things change them to the contrary. | ATLCUPE All eht gnhist tath we reaepdpr rof teh indedwg rytap liwl nwo be esud for eht ulnrfae. rOu phapy icsum lwil won be dsa.
