Actress - Bailey Dean Character - Ophelia Play - Hamlet In Drama class, we had to do monologues from one of Shakespeare's plays. Please ignore the background. We were going to have a black curtain, but a substitute was there and he decided not to. The background is the set for Mr. Wolverine. -THE MONOLOGUE- They bore him barefaced on the bier Hey nony nony nony non And in his grave rained many a tear Fare you well, my dove! You must sing a-down, a-down, and you call him a-down-a Oh, how the wheel becomes it! It is the false steward that stole his master's daughter There's rosemary, that's for remembrance Pray you, love, remember And here's a pansy, that's for thoughts Here's fennel for you, and columbines Here's rue for you, and here's some for me We can call it herb of grace on Sundays Oh, you must wear your rue with a difference! Here's violets I'd give you a daisy but they withered all when my father died They say he made a good end For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy And! will he not come again? And will he not come again? No, no, he is dead! Go to thy deathbed! He never will come again His beard was as white as snow All flaxen was his poll He is gone, he is gone! And we cast away moan God have mercy on his soul And of all Christian souls God have mercy on you
