Romeo and Juliet

Peter

O musicians, because my heart itself plays 'My heart is
full of woe.' O, play me some merry dump to comfort me.

First Musician

Not a dump, we. 'Tis no time to play now.

Peter

You will not then?

First Musician

No.

Peter

I will then give it you soundly.

First Musician

What will you give us?                                                  

Peter

No money, on my faith, but the gleek.
I will give you the minstrel.

Friar Laurence

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
Above the clouds, as high as heaven itself?
O, in this love, you love your child so ill
That you run mad seeing that she is well.
