_ ACT IV. SCENE IV.
Capulet's house.
[Enter Lady Capulet of the House and Nurse.]
LADY CAPULET.
Hold, take these keys and fetch more spices, nurse.
NURSE.
They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.
[Enter Old 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 and Nurse.]
CAPULET.
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.
CAPULET.
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.
CAPULET.
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 with Paris. Hie, make haste,
Make haste! The bridegroom he is come already:
Make haste, I say.
