¶The curfew bell hath rung; 'tis three a clock.
¶Look to the baked meats, good Angelica,
¶Spare not for cost.
¶Nurse Go, you cotquean, go,
2550Get you to bed. Faith, you'll be sick tomorrow
¶For this night's watching.
¶Capulet No not a whit. What, I have watched ere now
¶All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.
¶Capulet's Wife Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time,
2555But I will watch you from such watching now.

| ¶Now fellow, | |
What is there?
25601 Servingman Things for the cook, sir, but I know not what.
| ¶Capulet | |
| Make haste, make haste. [1 Servingman exits.] | |
| Sirra, fetch drier logs. | |
¶Call Peter. He will show thee where they are.
¶2 Servingman I have a head sir, that will find out logs
¶And never trouble Peter for the matter.
[2 Servingman exits.]
2565Capulet Mass, and well said. A merry whoreson, ha!
¶The County will be here with music straight,
¶For so he said he would. I hear him near.
¶Go waken Juliet; go and trim her up.
¶I'll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste,
¶Make hast. The bridegroom, he is come already.
2575Make haste I say.
Exit Capulet
