Capylet’ House

Enter Lady Capulet and Nurse.

LADY:

Hold, take these keys and fetch more spices, Nurse.

NURSE:

They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.

Enter Capulet.

CAP:

Come, stir, stir, stir! The second cock hath crow'd,
The curfew bell hath rung, 'tis three o'clock.
Look to the bak'd meats, good Angelica;(5)
Spare not for cost.

NURSE:

Go, you cot-quean, go,
Get you to bed! Faith, you'll be sick to-morrow
For this night's watching.

CAP:

No, not a whit. What, I have watch'd ere now(10)
All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.

LADY:

Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time;
But I will watch you from such watching now.

Exeunt Lady and Nurse.

CAP:

A jealous hood, a jealous hood!
Now, fellow, what is there?(15)

Enter three or four servingmen, with spits and logs and baskets.

FIRST SERVANT:

Things for the cook, sir; but I know not
what.

CAP:

Make haste, make haste. Exit First Servant. Sirrah,
fetch drier logs.
Call Peter; he will show thee where they are.(20)

SECOND SERVANT:

I have a head, sir, that will find out logs
And never trouble Peter for the matter.

Exit Second Servant.

CAP:

Mass, and well said; a merry whoreson, ha!
Thou shalt be loggerhead.Good faith,'tis day.
The County will be here with music straight,(25)
For so he said he would.

Play of music.

I hear him near.
Nurse! Wife! What, ho! What, nurse, I say!

Enter Nurse.

Go waken Juliet; go and trim her up.
I'll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste,(30)
Make haste! The bridegroom he is come already:
Make haste, I say.

Exeunt.
