Romeo and Juliet (Modern, Quarto 2)

 [Scene 17/IV.ii]
2.0.124232385Enter Father Capulet, Mother, Nurse, and 24242386Serving-men, two or three.
2.324252387Capulet
 So many guests invite as here are writ.
2.424262388Sirrah, go hire me twenty cunning cooks.
2.524272389Serving-man
 You shall have none ill, sir, for I'll try if they can lick their 24282390fingers.
2.624292391Capulet
 How canst thou try them so?
2.724302392Serving-man
 Marry, sir, 'tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own 24312393fingers; therefore he that cannot lick his fingers goes not with 24322394me.
2.824332395Capulet
 Go, be gone. We shall be much unfurnished for this time.
2.924342396What, is my daughter gone to Friar Laurence?
2.1024352397Nurse
 Ay, forsooth.
2.1124362398Capulet
 Well, he may chance to do some good on her.
2.1224372399A peevish self-willed harlotry it is.
2.12.124382400Enter Juliet.
2.1424392401Nurse
 See where she comes from shrift with merry look.
2.1524412402Capulet
 How now, my headstrong, where have you been gadding?
2.1624432403Juliet
 Where I have learned me to repent the sin
2.1724442404Of disobedient opposition
2.1824452405To you and your behests, and am enjoined
2.1924462406By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here
2.2024472407To beg your pardon. Pardon, I beseech you;
2.20.1[She kneels.]
2.2224482408Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.
2.2324492409Capulet
 Send for the County; go tell him of this.
2.2424502410I'll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.
2.2524512411Juliet
 I met the youthful lord at Laurence' cell
2.2624522412And gave him what becomèd love I might,
2.2724532413Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty.
2.2824542414Capulet
 Why, I am glad on't. This is well; stand up.
2.28.1[Juliet rises.]
2.3024552415This is as't should be.--[Calls to Servants] Let me see the County.
2.3124562416Ay, marry, go, I say, and fetch him hither. 
 Now
2.3224572417Now, afore God, this reverend holy Friar,
2.3324582418All our whole city is much bound to him.
2.3424592419Juliet
 Nurse, will you go with me into my closet
2.3524602420To help me sort such needful ornaments
2.3624612421As you think fit to furnish me tomorrow?
2.3724622422Capulet's Wife
 No, not till Thursday, there is time enough.
2.3824632423Capulet
 Go, Nurse, go with her, we'll to church tomorrow.
2.38.124652424Exeunt [Juliet and Nurse].
2.4024662425Capulet's Wife
 We shall be short in our provision.
2.4124672426'Tis now near night.
2.4224682427Capulet
 Tush, I will stir about,
2.4324692428And all things shall be well, I warrant thee, wife.
2.4424702429Go thou to Juliet, help to deck up her;
2.4524712430I'll not to bed tonight; let me alone.
2.4624722431I'll play the housewife for this once. What, ho!
2.46.1Exit Capulet's Wife.
2.4824732432They are all forth. Well, I will walk myself
2.4924742433To County Paris, to prepare up him
2.5024752434Against tomorrow. My heart is wondrous light
2.5124762435Since this same wayward girl is so reclaimed.
2.51.124772436Exit.
