English drama
_Nurse._ Marry, bachelor,[374] 110
Her mother is the lady of the house,
And a good lady, and a wise and virtuous:
I nursed her daughter, that you talk'd withal;
I tell you, he that can lay hold of her[375]
Shall have the chinks.
_Rom._ Is she a Capulet?[376] 115
O dear account! my life is my foe's debt.[377]
_Ben._ Away, be gone; the sport is at the best.
_Rom._ Ay, so I fear; the more is my unrest.[378]
_Cap._ Nay, gentlemen, prepare not to be gone;
We have a trifling foolish banquet towards.[379] 120
Is it e'en so? why, then, I thank you all;
I thank you, honest gentlemen; good night.
More torches here! Come on then, let's to bed.[380]
Ah, sirrah, by my fay, it waxes late:[381]
I'll to my rest. [_Exeunt all but Juliet and Nurse._[382] 125
_Jul._ Come hither, nurse. What is yond gentleman?[383]
_Nurse._ The son and heir of old Tiberio.
_Jul._ What's he that now is going out of door?[384]
_Nurse._ Marry, that, I think, be young Petruchio.[385]
_Jul._ What's he that follows there, that would not dance?[386] 130
_Nurse._ I know not.
_Jul._ Go, ask his name. If he be married,
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.[387]
_Nurse._ His name is Romeo, and a Montague,
The only son of your great enemy.[388] 135
_Jul._ My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late![389]
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathed enemy.
_Nurse._ What's this? what's this?[390]
_Jul._ A rhyme I learn'd even now[391] 140
Of one I danced withal. [_One calls within_ 'Juliet.'
_Nurse._ Anon, anon!
Come, let's away; the strangers all are gone.[392] [_Exeunt._
