MERCUTIO: A bawd, a bawd, a bawd!
So ho! Romeo! Romeo! Romeo! Will you come to your father's? We'll
to dinner, thither.
ROMEO: I will follow you.
MERCUTIO: Farewell, ancient lady;
farewell!
NURSE: If ye should lead her into
a fool's paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behavior,
as they say: for the lady is young; and, therefore, if you should
deal double with her, truly it were an ill thing, and very weak
dealing.
ROMEO: Bid her to come to confession
this afternoon; And there she shall at Father Laurence' cell Be
shrived and married.
JULIET: O honey nurse, what news?
Nurse?
NURSE: I am a-weary, give me leave
awhile: Fie, how my bones ache! what a jaunt have I!
JULIET: I would thou hadst my
bones, and I thy news: Come, I pray thee, speak.
NURSE: What haste? Can you not
stay awhile? Do you not see that I am out of breath?
JULIET: How art thou out of breath,
when thou hast breath To say to me that thou art out of breath?
Is the news good, or bad? answer to that.
NURSE: Well, you have made a simple
choice; you know not how to choose a man: Romeo! no, not he; though
his face be better than any man's, yet his leg excels all men's;
and for a hand, and a foot, and a body.
JULIET: But all this did I know
before. What says he of our marriage? What of that?
NURSE: Lord, how my head aches!
What a head have I! O, my back! Other' other side,--O, my back.
JULIET: I' faith, I am sorry that
thou art not well. Sweet, sweet, sweet nurse, tell me, what says
my love?
NURSE: Your love says, like an
honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind, and a handsome,
and, I warrant, a virtuous,-- Where is your Mother?
JULIET: Where is my mother! How
oddly thou repliest! Your love says, like an honest gentleman,
Where is your mother?
NURSE: O lady dear! Are you so
hot? Henceforth, do your messages yourself.
JULIET: Here's such a coil! Come,
what says Romeo?
NURSE: Have you got leave to go
to confession to-day?
JULIET: I have.
NURSE: Then hie you hence to Father
Laurence' cell; There stays a husband to make you a wife!
