Lord, how my head aches! what a head have I!
It beats as it would fall in twenty pieces.
My back o’ t’ other side, – O, my back, my back!
Beshrew your heart for sending me about,
To catch my death with jaunting up and down!
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 5. The Nurse provides comic relief in the play, as seen in this response to Juliet when she begs for news from Romeo about their marriage. The Nurse drags out the conversation and complains about how she sore she feels after being sent on the journey by Juliet, so lightening the mood of the play.
