Romeo and Juliet, IV. iv
95

Cap. No, not a whit; what! I have watch'd ere now
All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.

Lady Cap. Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time;
But I will watch you from such watching now.

Exeunt Lady and Nurse.

Cap. A jealous-hood, a jealous-hood!

Enter three or four, with spits, and logs, and baskets.

Now, fellow, 17
What's there?

First Serv. Things for the cook, sir; but I know not what.

Cap. Make haste, make haste. [Exit first Serving-
man.] Sirrah, fetch drier logs: 16
Call Peter, he will show thee where they are.

Sec. Serv. I have a head, sir, that will find out logs,
And never trouble Peter for the matter. Exit.

Cap. Mass, and well said; a merry whoreson, ha! 20
Thou shalt be logger-head. Good faith! 'tis day:
The county will be here with music straight,
For so he said he would. Play music [within].
I hear him near.
Nurse! Wife! what, ho! What, nurse, I say!

Enter Nurse.

Go waken Juliet, go and trim her up; 25
I'll go and chat with Paris. Hie, make haste,
Make haste; the bridegroom he is come already:
Make haste, I say. [Exeunt.]
