_Cap._ Ha! let me see her. Out, alas! she's cold; 25 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![1331] _La. Cap._ O woeful time![1332] 30 _Cap._ Death, that hath ta'en her hence to make me wail,[1332] Ties up my tongue and will not let me speak.[1332][1333] _Enter_ FRIAR LAURENCE _and_ PARIS, _with_ Musicians. _Fri. L._ Come, is the bride ready to go to church?[1334] _Cap._ Ready to go, but never to return. O son, the night before thy wedding-day[1335] 35 Hath death lain with thy wife: see, there she lies,[1336] Flower as she was, deflowered by him.[1337] Death is my son-in-law, death is my heir;[1338] My daughter he hath wedded: I will die,[1338] And leave him all; life, living, all is Death's.[1338][1339] 40 _Par._ Have I thought long to see this morning's face,[1340] And doth it give me such a sight as this? _La. Cap._ Accurst, unhappy, wretched, hateful day! Most miserable hour that e'er time saw[1341] In lasting labour of his pilgrimage! 45 But one, poor one, one poor and loving child,[1342] But one thing to rejoice and solace in, And cruel death hath catch'd it from my sight![1343] _Nurse._ O woe! O woeful, woeful, woeful day! Most lamentable day, most woeful day, 50 That ever, ever, I did yet behold![1344] O day! O day! O day! O hateful day! Never was seen so black a day as this: O woeful day, O woeful day! _Par._ Beguiled, divorced, wronged, spited, slain![1345] 55 Most detestable death, by thee beguiled,[1345] By cruel cruel thee quite overthrown![1345] O love! O life! not life, but love in death![1345] _Cap._ Despised, distressed, hated, martyr'd, kill'd![1345] Uncomfortable time, why camest thou now[1345] 60 To murder, murder our solemnity?[1345] O child! O child! my soul, and not my child![1345] Dead art thou! Alack, my child is dead;[1345][1346] And with my child my joys are buried![1345]
