LADY CAPULET: J U L I E T ! ! ! ! Juliet! Juliet! Juliet! Nurse! Nurse, where's my daughter? Call her forth to me.

NURSE: I bade her come, God forbid! Juliet! Juliet! Juliet!

JULIET: Madam, I am here. What is your will?

LADY CAPULET: Nurse, give leave awhile, We must talk in secret--gasp Nurse, come back again; I have remember'd me, thou's hear our counsel. Nurse, Thou know'st my daughter's of a pretty age.

NURSE: Thou wast the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed.

LADY CAPULET: By my count, I was your mother much upon these years,You are now a maid. Thus then in brief: The valiant Paris seeks you for his love.

NURSE: A man, young lady! Lady, such a man As all the world--why, he's a man of wax.

LADY CAPULET: Verona's summer hath not such a flower.

NURSE: Nay, he's a flower; in faith, a very flower.

LADY CAPULET: This night you shall behold him at our feast; Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face, And find delight writ there with beauty's pen; This precious book of love, this unbound lover, To beautify him, only lacks a cover: So shall you share all that he doth possess, By having him, making yourself no less.

NURSE: Nay, bigger! Women grow by men.

LADY CAPULET: Speak briefly, can you like of Paris' love?

JULIET: I'll look to like, if looking liking move: But no more deep will I endart mine eye Than your consent to give strength to make it fly.

SERVANT: Madam, the guests are come.

LADY CAPULET: Go! I will follow thee. Juliet, Blah!

NURSE: Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.
