Disk II - 06 O Woeful Day [Act 4, Scene 5]
Female vocal [The Nurse]
The Nurse finds Juliet ‘dead’.
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 needs must 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.
O woe, O woeful, woeful, woeful day,
Most lamentable day, most woeful day
That ever, ever I did yet behold.
O day, O day, O day, O hateful day,
Never was seen so black a day as this,
O woeful day, O woeful day.
