That you shall rest but little.—God forgive me,[C 1]
Marry, and amen, how sound is she asleep!
I needs must[C 2] wake her.—Madam, madam, madam!
Ay, let the county take you in your bed;10
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,[C 3] that ever I was born!15
Some aqua-vitæ, ho! My lord, my lady!

Enter Lady Capulet.[C 4]

Lady Cap. What noise is here?
Nurse. O lamentable day!
Lady Cap. What is the matter?
Nurse. Look, look! O heavy day!
Lady Cap. O me, O me! My child, my only life,
Revive, look up, or I will die with thee.20
Help, help! call help.

Lady Cap. Alack the day, she's dead, she's dead, she's dead!
