(Romeo and Juliet) But his flaw'd heart (Alack, too weak the conflict to support!) 'Twixt two extremes of passion, joy and grief, Burst smilingly. (King Lear) Alack, I am afraid they have awaked, And 'tis not done. The attempt and not the deed Confounds us. (Macbeth) Thou bring'st me happiness and peace, son John; But health, alack, with youthful wings is flown From this bare wither'd trunk. (Henry IV Part II) It is sort of like "Alas" with which it can be used interchangeably.
