Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Cap._ A jealous-hood, a jealous-hood![1305][1306]
_Enter three or four_ Servingmen, _with spits, and logs, and baskets_.
Now, fellow,
What's there?[1305][1307]
_First Serv._ Things for the cook, sir, but I know not what.[1308] 15
_Cap._ Make haste, make haste. [_Exit First Serv._] Sirrah, fetch
drier logs:[1309]
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.
_Sec. Serv._ I have a head, sir, that will find out logs,[1310]
And never trouble Peter for the matter.
_Cap._ Mass, and well said; a merry whoreson, ha! 20
Thou shalt be logger-head. [_Exit Sec. Serv._] Good faith, 'tis
day:[1311]
The county will be here with music straight,
For so he said he would. [_Music within_] I hear him near.[1312]
Nurse! Wife! What, ho! What, nurse, I say![1313]
_Re-enter_ Nurse.
Go waken Juliet, go and trim her up; 25
I'll go and chat with Paris: hie, make haste,
Make haste: the bridegroom he is come already:[1314][1315]
Make haste, I say.[1315][1316] [_Exeunt._
SCENE V. _Juliet's chamber._[1317]
_Enter_ Nurse.[1318]
_Nurse._ Mistress! what, mistress! Juliet! fast, I warrant her,
she:[1319]
Why, lamb! why, lady! fie, you slug-a-bed!
Why, love, I say! madam! sweet-heart! why, bride!
What, not a word? you take your pennyworths now;[1320]
Sleep for a week; for the next night, I warrant, 5
The County Paris hath set up his rest
That you shall rest but little. God forgive me,[1321]
Marry, and amen, how sound is she asleep!
I needs must wake her. Madam, madam, madam![1322]
Ay, let the county take you in your bed; 10
He'll fright you up, i' faith. Will it not be?[1323]
[_Undraws the curtains._[1324]
What, dress'd! and in your clothes! and down again!
I must needs wake you. Lady! lady! lady![1325]
Alas, alas! Help, help! my lady's dead!
O, well-a-day, that ever I was born![1326] 15
Some aqua-vitæ, ho! My lord! my lady![1327]
_Enter_ LADY CAPULET.
_La. Cap._ What noise is here?
_Nurse._ O lamentable day!
_La. Cap._ What is the matter?
_Nurse._ Look, look! O heavy day![1328]
_La. Cap._ O me, O me! My child, my only life,
Revive, look up, or I will die with thee. 20
Help, help! call help.[1329]
_Enter_ CAPULET.
_Cap._ For shame, bring Juliet forth; her lord is come.
_Nurse._ She's dead, deceased, she's dead; alack the day!
_La. Cap._ Alack the day, she's dead, she's dead, she's dead![1330]
