PETER: |
I saw no man use you a pleasure; if I had, my weapon |
should quickly have been out, I warrant you: I dare |
draw as soon as another man, if I see occasion in a |
good quarrel, and the law on my side. |
Nurse: |
Now, afore God, I am so vexed, that every part about |
me quivers. Scurvy knave! Pray you, sir, a word: |
and as I told you, my young lady bade me inquire you |
out; what she bade me say, I will keep to myself: |
but first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her into |
a fool's paradise, as they say, it were a very gross |
kind of behavior, as they say: for the gentlewoman |
is young; and, therefore, if you should deal double |
with her, truly it were an ill thing to be offered |
to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing. |
ROMEO: |
Nurse, commend me to thy lady and mistress. I |
protest unto thee-- |
Nurse: |
Good heart, and, i' faith, I will tell her as much: |
Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman. |
ROMEO: |
What wilt thou tell her, nurse? thou dost not mark me. |
Nurse: |
I will tell her, sir, that you do protest; which, as |
I take it, is a gentlemanlike offer. |
ROMEO: |
Bid her devise |
Some means to come to shrift this afternoon; |
And there she shall at Friar Laurence' cell |
Be shrived and married. Here is for thy pains. |
Nurse: |
No truly sir; not a penny. |
ROMEO: |
Go to; I say you shall. |
Nurse: |
This afternoon, sir? well, she shall be there. |
ROMEO: |
And stay, good nurse, behind the abbey wall: |
Within this hour my man shall be with thee |
And bring thee cords made like a tackled stair; |
Which to the high top-gallant of my joy |
Must be my convoy in the secret night. |
Farewell; be trusty, and I'll quit thy pains: |
Farewell; commend me to thy mistress. |
Nurse: |
Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir. |
ROMEO: |
What say'st thou, my dear nurse? |
Nurse: |
Is your man secret? Did you ne'er hear say, |
Two may keep counsel, putting one away? |
ROMEO: |
I warrant thee, my man's as true as steel. |
NURSE: |
Well, sir; my mistress is the sweetest lady--Lord, |
Lord! when 'twas a little prating thing:--O, there |
is a nobleman in town, one Paris, that would fain |
lay knife aboard; but she, good soul, had as lief |
see a toad, a very toad, as see him. I anger her |
sometimes and tell her that Paris is the properer |
man; but, I'll warrant you, when I say so, she looks |
as pale as any clout in the versal world. Doth not |
rosemary and Romeo begin both with a letter? |
ROMEO: |
Ay, nurse; what of that? both with an R. |
Nurse: |
Ah. mocker! that's the dog's name; R is for |
the--No; I know it begins with some other |
letter:--and she hath the prettiest sententious of |
it, of you and rosemary, that it would do you good |
to hear it. |
ROMEO: |
Commend me to thy lady. |
Nurse: |
Ay, a thousand times. |
Peter! |
