Read the excerpt from Act II of Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet: Now, good sweet nurse- O Lord, why look'st thou sad?
Though news be sad, yet tell them merrily;
If good, thou shamest the music of sweet news
By playing it to me with so sour a face.

Which is the most accurate adaptation of the underlined part of the excerpt?

Please only tell me happy news, not sad.
If the news is sad, do not say it happily.
But if the news is sad, relay it joyfully.
Just act happy even if the news is sad.
