[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.]
