All’s Well That Ends Well Act 2 Scene 4 lyrics

SCENE IV. Paris. The KING's palace.

Enter HELENA and Clown

HELENA
My mother greets me kindly; is she well?

CLOWN
She is not well; but yet she has her health: she's
very merry; but yet she is not well: but thanks be
given, she's very well and wants nothing i', the
world; but yet she is not well.

HELENA
If she be very well, what does she ail, that she's
not very well?

CLOWN
Truly, she's very well indeed, but for two things.

HELENA
What two things?

CLOWN
One, that she's not in heaven, whither God send her
quickly! the other that she's in earth, from whence
God send her quickly!
