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;
