ACT IV.
SCENE I. _Friar Laurence's cell._[1170]
_Enter_ FRIAR LAURENCE _and_ PARIS.[1171]
_Fri. L._ On Thursday, sir? the time is very short.
_Par._ My father Capulet will have it so;
And I am nothing slow to slack his haste.[1172]
_Fri. L._ You say you do not know the lady's mind:
Uneven is the course; I like it not.[1173] 5
_Par._ Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death,
And therefore have I little talk'd of love,[1174]
For Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
Now, sir, her father counts it dangerous
That she doth give her sorrow so much sway,[1175] 10
And in his wisdom hastes our marriage,
To stop the inundation of her tears,
Which, too much minded by herself alone,
May be put from her by society:
Now do you know the reason of this haste.[1176] 15
_Fri. L._ [_Aside_] I would I knew not why it should be slow'd.[1177]
Look, sir, here comes the lady toward my cell.[1178]
_Enter_ JULIET.
_Par._ Happily met, my lady and my wife![1179]
_Jul._ That may be, sir, when I may be a wife.
_Par._ That may be must be, love, on Thursday next. 20
_Jul._ What must be shall be.
_Fri. L._ That's a certain text.
_Par._ Come you to make confession to this father?
_Jul._ To answer that, I should confess to you.[1180]
_Par._ Do not deny to him that you love me.
_Jul._ I will confess to you that I love him. 25
_Par._ So will ye, I am sure, that you love me.[1181]
_Jul._ If I do so, it will be of more price,
Being spoke behind your back, than to your face.[1182]
_Par._ Poor soul, thy face is much abused with tears.
