Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare

Act 4, Scene 4

Hall in Capuletโ€™s House.

Enterย Lady Capuletย andย Nurse.

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

NURSE.
They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.

Enterย Capulet.

CAPULET.
Come, stir, stir, stir! The second cock hath crowโ€™d,
The curfew bell hath rung, โ€™tis three oโ€™clock.
Look to the bakโ€™d meats, good Angelica;
Spare not for cost.

NURSE.
Go, you cot-quean, go,
Get you to bed; faith, youโ€™ll be sick tomorrow
For this nightโ€™s watching.

CAPULET.
No, not a whit. What! I have watchโ€™d ere now
All night for lesser cause, and neโ€™er been sick.

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

[Exeuntย Lady Capuletย andย Nurse.]

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

Enterย Servants,ย with spits, logs and baskets.

Now, fellow, whatโ€™s there?

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

CAPULET.
Make haste, make haste.

[Exitย First Servant.]

โ€”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.
Thou shalt be loggerhead.โ€”Good faith, โ€™tis day.
The County will be here with music straight,
For so he said he would. I hear him near.

[Play music.]

Nurse! Wife! What, ho! What, Nurse, I say!

Re-enterย Nurse.

Go waken Juliet, go and trim her up.
Iโ€™ll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste,
Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already.
Make haste I say.

[Exeunt.]
