Read the excerpt from act iv, scene iv of romeo and juliet.

peter: musicians! o! musicians, ‘heart’s ease, heart’s ease: ’ o! an ye will have me live, play ‘heart’s ease.’

first musician: why ‘heart’s ease? ’

peter: o! musicians, because my heart itself plays ‘my heart is full of woe; ’ o! play me some merry dump, to comfort me.

second musician: not a dump we; ’tis no time to play now.

the musicians refuse to play music when peter asks because they

don’t know which songs to play.
feel it is too sad a day to play.
want to get paid more.
dislike the capulets.

The musicians refuse to play music when Peter asks because they feel it is too sad a day to play.

In Act IV Scene IV of the play “Romeo and Juliet” the Capulets were busy in the preparation of the wedding of Juliet and Paris. Friar Laurence informs them that Juliet has left the world and had gone to a better place. The musicians who were present to add to the celebration stopped to play the music. Peter asked them to play the music so as minimize the grief but they negated to sing any song on such mournful day.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
