SCENE I.

The inside of a Church.
Enter the funeral procession of Juliet, in which the following Dirge is sung.
CHORUS.
Rise , rise!
Heart-breaking sighs
The woe-fraught bosom swell;
For sighs alone,
And dismal moan,
Should echo Juliet's knell.
AIR.
She's gone—the sweetest flow'r of May,
That blooming blest our sight;
Those eyes which shore like breaking day,
Are set in endless night!
CHORUS.
Rise, rise! &c.
AIR.
She's gone, she's gone, nor leaves behind
So fair a form, so pure a mind;
How could'st thou, Death, at once destroy,
The Lover's hope, the Parent's joy?
CHORUS.
Rise, Rise! &c.
59

AIR.
Thou spotless soul, look down below,
Our unfeign'd sorrow see;
Oh give us strength to bear our woe,
To bear the loss of Thee!
CHORUS.
Rise, Rise! &c.
