Two, two; a shirt and a smock.
Nurse:
Peter!
PETER:
Anon!
Nurse:
My fan, Peter.
MERCUTIO:
Good Peter, to hide her face; for her fan's the
fairer face.
Nurse:
God ye good morrow, gentlemen.
MERCUTIO:
God ye good den, fair gentlewoman.
Nurse:
Is it good den?
MERCUTIO:
'Tis no less, I tell you, for the bawdy hand of the
dial is now upon the prick of noon.
Nurse:
Out upon you! what a man are you!
ROMEO:
One, gentlewoman, that God hath made for himself to
mar.
Nurse:
By my troth, it is well said; 'for himself to mar,'
quoth a'? Gentlemen, can any of you tell me where I
may find the young Romeo?
ROMEO:
I can tell you; but young Romeo will be older when
you have found him than he was when you sought him:
I am the youngest of that name, for fault of a worse.
Nurse:
You say well.
MERCUTIO:
Yea, is the worst well? very well took, i' faith;
wisely, wisely.
Nurse:
if you be he, sir, I desire some confidence with
you.
BENVOLIO:
She will indite him to some supper.
MERCUTIO:
A bawd, a bawd, a bawd! so ho!
ROMEO:
What hast thou found?
MERCUTIO:
No hare, sir; unless a hare, sir, in a lenten pie,
that is something stale and hoar ere it be spent.
An old hare hoar,
And an old hare hoar,
Is very good meat in lent
But a hare that is hoar
Is too much for a score,
When it hoars ere it be spent.
Romeo, will you come to your father's? we'll
to dinner, thither.
ROMEO:
I will follow you.
MERCUTIO:
Farewell, ancient lady; farewell,
'lady, lady, lady.'
Nurse:
Marry, farewell! I pray you, sir, what saucy
merchant was this, that was so full of his ropery?
ROMEO:
A gentleman, nurse, that loves to hear himself talk,
and will speak more in a minute than he will stand
to in a month.
Nurse:
An a' speak any thing against me, I'll take him
down, an a' were lustier than he is, and twenty such
Jacks; and if I cannot, I'll find those that shall.
Scurvy knave! I am none of his flirt-gills; I am
none of his skains-mates. And thou must stand by
too, and suffer every knave to use me at his pleasure?
