Romeo and Juliet
ACT IV SCENE IV | Hall in Capulet’s house. | |
[Enter LADY CAPULET and Nurse] | ||
LADY CAPULET | Hold, take these keys, and fetch more spices, nurse. | |
Nurse | They call for dates and quinces in the pastry. | |
[Enter CAPULET] | ||
CAPULET | Come, stir, stir, stir! the second cock hath crow’d, | |
The curfew-bell hath rung, ’tis three o’clock: | ||
Look to the baked meats, good Angelica: | ||
Spare not for the cost. | ||
Nurse | Go, you cot-quean, go, | |
Get you to bed; faith, You’ll be sick to-morrow | ||
For this night’s watching. | ||
CAPULET | No, not a whit: what! I have watch’d ere now | |
All night for lesser cause, and ne’er been sick. | 10 | |
LADY CAPULET | Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time; | |
But I will watch you from such watching now. | ||
[Exeunt LADY CAPULET and Nurse] | ||
CAPULET | A jealous hood, a jealous hood! | |
[ Enter three or four Servingmen, with spits, logs, and baskets ] | ||
Now, fellow, | ||
What’s there? | ||
First Servant | Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what. | |
CAPULET | Make haste, make haste. | |
[Exit First Servant] | ||
Sirrah, fetch drier logs: | ||
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are. | ||
Second Servant | I have a head, sir, that will find out logs, | |
And never trouble Peter for the matter. | ||
[Exit] | ||
CAPULET | Mass, and well said; a merry whoreson, ha! | 20 |
Thou shalt be logger-head. Good faith, ’tis day: | ||
The county will be here with music straight, | ||
For so he said he would: I hear him near. | ||
[Music within] | ||
Nurse! Wife! What, ho! What, nurse, I say! | ||
[Re-enter Nurse] | ||
Go waken Juliet, go and trim her up; | ||
I’ll go and chat with Paris: hie, make haste, | ||
Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already: | 26 | |
Make haste, I say. | ||
[Exeunt] |
