Scene 5 SCENE, a Hall. Enter Lady Capulet and Nurse.

L. Cap.
Hold, take these Keys, and fetch more Spices, Nurse.

Nurse.
They call for Dates and Quinces in the Pastry.

-- 54 --

Enter Capulet.

Cap.
Come, stir, stir, stir, the second Cock hath crowed,
First Mattin's Bell hath rung, 'tis four o'Clock:
Look to the bak'd Meats, good Angelica
Spare not for Cost.

L. Cap.
Go, you Cot-Quean, go;
Get you to-bed; faith you'll be sick To-morrow
For this Night's watching.

Cap.
No not a whit; what I have watch'd ere now
All Night for a less Cause, and ne'er been sick.

L. Cap.
Ay, you have been a Mouse-hunt in your Time,
But I will watch you, from such watching, now.
[Exit. L. Cap. and Nurse.

Cap.
A jealous-hood, a jealous-hood—
Good faith 'tis Day
Young Paris will be here with Musick strait,
For so he said he would. 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, I say. [Exit. Cap.
