And then to have a wretched puling fool, |
A whining mammet, in her fortune's tender, |
To answer 'I'll not wed; I cannot love, |
I am too young; I pray you, pardon me.' |
But, as you will not wed, I'll pardon you: |
Graze where you will you shall not house with me: |
Look to't, think on't, I do not use to jest. |
Thursday is near; lay hand on heart, advise: |
An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; |
And you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in |
the streets, |
For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee, |
Nor what is mine shall never do thee good: |
Trust to't, bethink you; I'll not be forsworn. |
JULIET: |
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds, |
That sees into the bottom of my grief? |
O, sweet my mother, cast me not away! |
Delay this marriage for a month, a week; |
Or, if you do not, make the bridal bed |
In that dim monument where Tybalt lies. |
LADY CAPULET: |
Talk not to me, for I'll not speak a word: |
Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee. |
JULIET: |
O God!--O nurse, how shall this be prevented? |
My husband is on earth, my faith in heaven; |
How shall that faith return again to earth, |
Unless that husband send it me from heaven |
By leaving earth? comfort me, counsel me. |
Alack, alack, that heaven should practise stratagems |
Upon so soft a subject as myself! |
What say'st thou? hast thou not a word of joy? |
Some comfort, nurse. |
Nurse: |
Faith, here it is. |
Romeo is banish'd; and all the world to nothing, |
That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you; |
Or, if he do, it needs must be by stealth. |
Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, |
I think it best you married with the county. |
O, he's a lovely gentleman! |
Romeo's a dishclout to him: an eagle, madam, |
Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye |
As Paris hath. Beshrew my very heart, |
I think you are happy in this second match, |
For it excels your first: or if it did not, |
Your first is dead; or 'twere as good he were, |
As living here and you no use of him. |
JULIET: |
Speakest thou from thy heart? |
Nurse: |
And from my soul too; |
Or else beshrew them both. |
JULIET: |
Amen! |
Nurse: |
What? |
JULIET: |
Well, thou hast comforted me marvellous much. |
Go in: and tell my lady I am gone, |
Having displeased my father, to Laurence' cell, |
To make confession and to be absolved. |
Nurse: |
Marry, I will; and this is wisely done. |
JULIET: |
Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend! |
Is it more sin to wish me thus forsworn, |
Or to dispraise my lord with that same tongue |
Which she hath praised him with above compare |
So many thousand times? Go, counsellor; |
Thou and my bosom henceforth shall be twain. |
I'll to the friar, to know his remedy: |
If all else fail, myself have power to die. |
FRIAR LAURENCE: |
On Thursday, sir? the time is very short. |
PARIS: |
My father Capulet will have it so; |
And I am nothing slow to slack his haste. |
FRIAR LAURENCE: |
You say you do not know the lady's mind: |
Uneven is the course, I like it not. |
PARIS: |
Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death, |
And therefore have I little talk'd of love; |
