The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

by William Shakespeare

ACT IV

SCENE IV. 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 tomorrow

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!

[ Enter Servants, with spits, logs and baskets. ]

Now, fellow, 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.

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.--Good faith, '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-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. ]
