Hold, take these keys, and fetch more spices, nurse.

Nurse.
They call for dates and quinces, in the pastry. Enter Capulet and Lady, meeting.

Cap.
Come, stir, stir, stir, the second cock hath crow'd,
The curfew bell† ^note hath rung, 'tis three o'clock.

Look to the bak'd meats, good Angelica,
Spare not for cost.

Nurse.
Go, go, you cot-quean, go;
Get you to bed? faith you'll be sick to-morrow,
For this night's watching. [Exit.

Cap.
No, not a whit. What! I have watch'd, e're now,
All night, for a less cause, and ne'er been sick. [Play Music.
The county will be here with music straight,
For so he said he would,—I hear him near,
Nurse,—wife,—What, hoa? 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, I say. [Exit Capulet.
