SCENE IV. Hall in Capulet’s House.

[Enter Lady Capulet and Nurse.]
LADY CAPULET.

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

NURSE.

They call for dates and quinces in the pastry.

[Enter Capulet.]
CAPULET.
Come, stir, stir, stir! The second cock hath crow’d, The curfew bell hath rung, ’tis three o’clock. Look to the bak’d meats, good Angelica; Spare not for cost.
NURSE.
Go, you cot-quean, go, Get you to bed; faith, you’ll be sick tomorrow For this night’s watching.
CAPULET.
No, not a whit. What! I have watch’d ere now All night for lesser cause, and ne’er been sick.
LADY CAPULET.
Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time; But I will watch you from such watching now.
[Exeunt Lady Capulet and Nurse.]
CAPULET.

A jealous-hood, a jealous-hood!

[Enter Servants, with spits, logs and baskets.]

Now, fellow, what’s there?

FIRST SERVANT.

Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what.

CAPULET.

Make haste, make haste.

[Exit First Servant.]

—Sirrah, fetch drier logs. Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.

SECOND SERVANT.
I have a head, sir, that will find out logs And never trouble Peter for the matter.
[Exit.]
CAPULET.
Mass and well said; a merry whoreson, ha. Thou shalt be loggerhead.—Good faith, ’tis day. The County will be here with music straight, For so he said he would. I hear him near.
[Play music.]

Nurse! Wife! What, ho! What, Nurse, I say!

[Re-enter Nurse.]

Go waken Juliet, go and trim her up. I’ll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste, Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already. Make haste I say.

[Exeunt.]
