ROMEO AND JULIET 4.4

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: 5

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 10

All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.

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, 15

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. 20

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!

Thou shalt be logger-head. Good faith, 'tis day:

The county will be here with music straight, 25

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: 30

Make haste, I say.

[Exeunt]
