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 bak’d 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.
CAPULET
No, not a whit: what! I have watch’d ere now
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!—Now, fellow,
[Enter SERVANTS, with spits, logs and baskets.]
What’s there?
1 SERVANT
Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what.
CAPULET
Make haste, make haste. [Exit 1 Servant.]
—Sirrah, fetch drier logs:
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.
2 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,
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:
Make haste, I say.
[Exeunt.
