Act IV Scene IV. The Same. Hall in Capulet's House.


Enter Lady Capulet and Nurse.

Lady Cap. 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, 't is three o'clock;
Look to the baked meats, good Angelica:
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
All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.

Lady Cap. Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time;

But I will watch you from such watching now
[Exeunt Lady Capulet and Nurse.

Cap. A jealous-hood, a jealous-hood!

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

Now, fellow
What's there?

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

Cap. Make beats, make haste.
[Exit First Servant.
Sirrah, fetch drier logs:
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.

Second Serv. I have a bond, sir, that will find out logs,

And never trouble Peter for the matter.
[Exit.

Cap. Mass, and well said; a merry whoreson, ha!
Thou shalt be logger-head. Good faith! 't is day:
The county will be here with music straight,
For so he said he would.
[Music within.
I hear him near.
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. His, make haste
Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already:

Make haste, I say.
