SCENE III. A Church. A stately Monument in the Front. Enter, with Attendants, and Musick, D. Pedro, Claudio, and Others, bearing Tapers.

Cla.

Is this the monument of Leonato?

Att.

It is, my lord.

Cla.
[reading out of a Scrowl.
Done to death with sland'rous note tongues
  was the Hero that here lies:
death, in guerdon of her wrongs,
  gives her fame which never dies:
so the life, that dy'd with shame,
lives in death with glorious fame.

-- 86 --


  Hang thou there14Q0183 upon the tomb, [affixing it.
  Praising her when I am dumb. note
Now, musick, found, and sing your solemn hymn.
Song.
Pardon, goddess of the night,
those that slew thy virgin knight;
for the which, with songs of woe,
round about her tomb they go:—
  Midnight, assist our moan,
  help us to sigh and groan,
    heavily, heavily:
  graves, yawn, and yield your dead,
  'till death be uttered,
    heavily, heavily. note

Cla.
Now note unto thy bones good night!
    Yearly will I do this rite.

D. Pe.
Good morrow, masters; put your torches out:
  The wolves have prey'd; and, look, the gentle day,
Before the wheels of Phœbus, round about
  Dapples the drowsy east with spots of grey:
Thanks to you all, and leave us; fare you well.

Cla.
Good morrow, masters; each his several way.

D. Pe.
Come, let us hence, and put on other weeds;
And then to Leonato's we will go.

Cla.
And, Hymen, now with luckier issue speed's, note
  Than this, for whom we render'd up this woe.
