myShakespeare | Romeo and Juliet 4.5 Performance: Capulet ("Sad" Version), Lines 84-90

Capulet

All things that we ordainèd 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,
Our bridal flowers serve for a buried corpse,
And all things, change them to the contrary.
