FESTE
When that I was away and alone,
With a hey ho, the wind and the rain,
And all too late in coming home
For the rain…
(funeral bells chime in the distance)
Fear no more the heat o’ the sun,
Nor the furious winter’s rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
ALL
Fear no more the heat o’ the sun,
Nor the furious winter’s rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta’en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
Fear no more the frown o’ the great;
Thou art past the tyrant’s stroke;
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak:
The scepter, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.
(storm hits - shipwreck)
FESTE
Fear no more the lightning flash,
Nor the all-dreaded thunder stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan:
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.
OLIVIA
No exorciser harm thee!
FESTE
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
OLIVIA
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
FESTE
Nothing ill come near thee!
BOTH
Quiet consummation have;
And renownèd be thy grave!
