Oph. [Sings.]
“They bore him barefac’d on the bier;
Hey non nonny, nonny, hey nonny;
And on his grave rains many a tear,”—
Fare you well, my dove! 140
Oph. You must sing, “Down a-down, and you call him a-down-a.” O, how the wheel becomes it! 22 It is the false steward, that stole his master’s daughter.
There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray, love, remember; and there is pansies, that’s for thoughts.
There’s fennel for you, and columbines; there’s rue for you, and here’s some for me; we may call it herb of grace o’ Sundays. O, you must wear your rue with a difference. There’s a daisy. I would give you some violets, but they wither’d all when my father died. They say he made a good end,—
“For bonny sweet Robin is all my joy.”
Is any of this speech 'blank verse'? If not, does anyone know any similar Shakespearre female monologues/speeches like this that ARE in blank verse? Thanks!
