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] | ||
