72 The Tragedie of Romeo and Iuliet.
2456I marrie go I say, and fetch him hither.
2457Now afore God, this reueren'd holy Frier,
2458All our whole Cittie is much bound to him.
2464Weele to Church to morrow.
2465 Exeunt Iuliet and Nurse.
2467'Tis now neere night.
2469And all things shall be well, I warrant thee wife:
2470Go thou to Iuliet, helpe to decke vp her,
2471Ile not to bed to night, let me alone:
2472Ile play the huswife for this once. What ho?
2473They are all forth, well I will walke my selfe
2474To Countie Paris, to prepare him vp
2475Against to morrow, my heart is wondrous light,
2477 Exeunt Father and Mother.
2478Enter Iuliet and Nurse.
2480I pray thee leaue me to my selfe to night:
2481For I haue need of many Orysons,
2484Enter Mother.
2487As are behoouefull for our state to morrow:
2488So please you, let me now be left alone;
2490For I am sure, you haue your hands full all,
2492Mo. Goodnight.
2494Iul. Farewell:
2495God knowes when we shall meete againe.
2496I haue a faint cold feare thrills through my veines,
2498Ile call them backe againe to comfort me.
2501Come Viall, what if this mixture do not worke at all?
2502Shall I be married then to morrow morning?
2503No, no, this shall forbid it. Lie thou there,
2504What if it be a poyson which the Frier
2505Subtilly hath ministred to haue me dead,
2507Because he married me before to Romeo?
2508I feare it is, and yet me thinkes it should not,
2509For he hath still beene tried a holy man.
2510How, if when I am laid into the Tombe,
2511I wake before the time that Romeo
2512Come to redeeme me? There's a fearefull point:
2515And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes.
2516Or if I liue, is it not very like,
2517The horrible conceit of death and night,
2518Together with the terror of the place,
2519As in a Vaulte, an ancient receptacle,
2520Where for these many hundred yeeres the bones
2521Of all my buried Auncestors are packt,
2522Where bloody Tybalt, yet but greene in earth,
2525Alacke, alacke, is it not like that I
2527And shrikes like Mandrakes torne out of the earth,
2528That liuing mortalls hearing them, run mad.
2530Inuironed with all these hidious feares,
2531And madly play with my forefathers ioynts?
2532And plucke the mangled Tybalt from his shrow'd?
2536Seeking out Romeo that did spit his body
2538Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, here's drinke: I drinke to thee.
2539Enter Lady of the house, and Nurse.
2540Lady. Hold,
2543Enter old Capulet.
2545The second Cocke hath Crow'd,
2546The Curphew Bell hath rung, 'tis three a clocke:
2547Looke to the bakte meates, good Angelica,
2548Spare not for cost.
2549Nur. Go you Cot-queane, go,
2550Get you to bed, faith youle be sicke to morrow
2551For this nights watching.
2552Cap. No not a whit: what? I haue watcht ere now
2555But I will watch you from such watching now.
2556 Exit Lady and Nurse.
2557Cap. A iealous hood, a iealous hood,
2558Now fellow, what there?
2559Enter three or foure with spits, and logs, and baskets.
2562Call Peter, he will shew thee where they are.
2564And neuer trouble Peter for the matter.
2566Thou shalt be loggerhead; good Father, 'tis day.
2567 Play Musicke
2571Enter Nurse.
2572Go waken Iuliet, go and trim her vp,
2573Ile go and chat with Paris: hie, make hast,
2574Make hast, the Bridegroome, he is come already:
2579What not a word? You take your peniworths now.
2580Sleepe for a weeke, for the next night I warrant
I
