forty hours； And then awake as from a pleasant sleep。 Now； when the
bridegroom in the morning comes To rouse thee from thy bed； there art
thou dead。 Then； as the manner of our country is； In thy best robes
uncovered on the bier Thou shalt be borne to that same ancient vault
Where all the kindred of the Capulets lie。 In the mean time； against thou
shalt awake； Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift； And hither shall he
come； and he and I Will watch thy waking； and that very night Shall
Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua。 And this shall free thee from this
present shame； If no inconstant toy nor womanish fear Abate thy valour in
the acting it。 Jul。 Give me； give me！ O； tell not me of fear！ Friar。 Hold！ Get
you gone； be strong and prosperous In this resolve。 I'll send a friar with
speed To Mantua； with my letters to thy lord。 Jul。 Love give me strength！
and strength shall help afford。 Farewell； dear father。 Exeunt。

SCENE II。 Capulet's house。
Enter Father Capulet； Mother； Nurse； and Servingmen； two or three。
Cap。 So many guests invite as here are writ。 ＇Exit a Servingman。＇
Sirrah； go hire me twenty cunning cooks。 Serv。 You shall have none ill； sir；
for I'll try if they can lick their fingers。 Cap。 How canst thou try them so？
Serv。 Marry； sir； 'tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers。 Therefore
he that cannot lick his fingers goes not with me。 Cap。 Go； begone。 Exit
Servingman。 We shall be much unfurnish'd for this time。 What； is my
daughter gone to Friar Laurence？ Nurse。 Ay； forsooth。 Cap。 Well； be may
chance to do some good on her。 A peevish self…will'd harlotry it is。
Enter Juliet。
Nurse。 See where she comes from shrift with merry look。 Cap。 How
now； my headstrong？ Where have you been gadding？ Jul。 Where I have
learnt me to repent the sin Of disobedient opposition To you and your
behests； and am enjoin'd By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here To beg
your pardon。 Pardon； I beseech you！ Henceforward I am ever rul'd by you。
Cap。 Send for the County。 Go tell him of this。 I'll have this knot knit up to…
morrow morning。 Jul。 I met the youthful lord at Laurence' cell And gave
him what becomed love I might； Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty。
Cap。 Why； I am glad on't。 This is well。 Stand up。 This is as't should be。 Let
me see the County。 Ay； marry； go； I say； and fetch him hither。 Now； afore
God； this reverend holy friar； All our whole city is much bound to him。 Jul。
Nurse； will you go with me into my closet To help me sort such needful
ornaments As you think fit to furnish me to…morrow？ Mother。 No； not till
Thursday。 There is time enough。 Cap。 Go； nurse； go with her。 We'll to
church to…morrow。 Exeunt Juliet and Nurse。 Mother。 We shall be short in
our provision。 'Tis now near night。 Cap。 Tush； I will stir about； And all
things shall be well； I warrant thee； wife。 Go thou to Juliet； help to deck up
her。 I'll not to bed to…night； let me alone。 I'll play the housewife for this
once。 What； ho！ They are all forth； well； I will walk myself To County
Paris； to prepare him up Against to…morrow。 My heart is wondrous light；
Since this same wayward girl is so reclaim'd。 Exeunt。

SCENE III。 Juliet's chamber。
Enter Juliet and Nurse。
Jul。 Ay； those attires are best； but； gentle nurse； I pray thee leave me
to myself to…night； For I have need of many orisons To move the heavens
to smile upon my state； Which； well thou knowest； is cross and full of sin。
Enter Mother。
Mother。 What； are you busy； ho？ Need you my help？ Jul。 No； madam；
we have cull'd such necessaries As are behooffull for our state to…morrow。
So please you； let me now be left alone； And let the nurse this night sit up
with you； For I am sure you have your hands full all In this so sudden
business。 Mother。 Good night。 Get thee to bed； and rest； for thou hast need。
Exeunt ＇Mother and Nurse。＇ Jul。 Farewell！ God knows when we shall
meet again。 I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins That almost
freezes up the heat of life。 I'll call them back again to comfort me。 Nurse！…
What should she do here？ My dismal scene I needs must act alone。 Come；
vial。 What if this mixture do not work at all？ Shall I be married then to…
morrow morning？ No； No！ This shall forbid it。 Lie thou there。 Lays down
a dagger。 What if it be a poison which the friar Subtilly hath minist'red to
have me dead； Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd Because he
married me before to Romeo？ I fear it is； and yet methinks it should not；
For he hath still been tried a holy man。 I will not entertain so bad a thought。
How if； when I am laid into the tomb； I wake before the time that Romeo
Come to redeem me？ There's a fearful point！ Shall I not then be stifled in
the vault； To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in； And there
die strangled ere my Romeo comes？ Or； if I live； is it not very like The
horrible conceit of death and night； Together with the terror of the place…
As in a vault； an ancient receptacle Where for this many hundred years the
bones Of all my buried ancestors are pack'd； Where bloody Tybalt； yet but
green in earth； Lies fest'ring in his shroud； where； as they say； At some
hours in the night spirits resort… Alack； alack； is it not like that I； So early
waking… what with loathsome smells； And shrieks like mandrakes torn out
of the earth； That living mortals； hearing them； run mad… O； if I wake；
shall I not be distraught； Environed with all these hideous fears； And

madly play with my forefathers' joints； And pluck the mangled Tybalt
from his shroud。； And； in this rage； with some great kinsman's bone As
with a club dash out my desp'rate brains？ O； look！ methinks I see my
cousin's ghost Seeking out Romeo； that did spit his body Upon a rapier's
point。 Stay； Tybalt； stay！ Romeo； I come！ this do I drink to thee。
She ＇drinks and＇ falls upon her bed within the curtains。

SCENE IV。 Capulet's house。
Enter Lady of the House and Nurse。
Lady。 Hold； take these keys and fetch more spices； nurse。 Nurse。
They call for dates and quinces in the pastry。
Enter Old Capulet。
Cap。 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。 Cap。 No； not a whit。
What； I have watch'd ere now All night for lesser cause； and ne'er been
sick。 Lady。 Ay； you have been a mouse…hunt in your time； But I will watch
you from such watching now。 Exeunt Lady and Nurse。 Cap。 A jealous
hood； a jealous hood！
Enter three or four ＇Fellows； with spits and logs and baskets。
What is there？ Now； fellow； Fellow。 Things for the cook； sir； but I
know not what。 Cap。 Make haste； make haste。 ＇Exit Fellow。＇ Sirrah； fetch
drier logs。 Call Peter； he will show thee where they are。 Fellow。 I have a
head； sir； that will find out logs And never trouble Peter for the matter。 Cap。
Mass； and well said； a merry whoreson； ha！ Thou shalt be loggerhead。
＇Exit Fellow。＇ Good faith； 'tis day。 The County will be here with music
straight； For so he said he would。 Play music。 I hear him near。 Nurse！ Wife！
What； ho！ What； nurse； I say！
Enter Nurse。 Go waken Juliet； go and trim her up。 I'll go and chat
