One hopes that the actor playing the friar is sufficiently accomplished to employ more than one tone of voice when playing the part. The friar needs to be meditative ("O mickle is the powerful grace that lies in herbs"), incredulous ("Holy Saint Francis! What a change is here!"), pedantic ("they stumble that run fast"), joyful ("Here comes the lady!"), hectoring ("Fie! Fie! thou shamest thy shape, thy love, thy wit"), calming ("Hold, daughter, I do spy a kind of hope"), panicky ("Now must I to the monument alone"), desperate ("I dare no longer stay"), and penitent ("If aught in this miscarried by my fault, let my old life be sacrificed"), among other things.
