Peter

I saw no man use you at his pleasure; if I had, my weapon should quickly have been out. I warrant you, I dare draw as soon as another man, if I see occasion in a good quarrel, and the law on my side.

Nurse

Now, afore God, I am so vexed that every part about me quivers. Scurvy knave. Pray you, sir, a word: and as I told you, my young lady bid me enquire you out; what she bade me say, I will keep to myself. But first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her in a fool’s paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behaviour, as they say; for the gentlewoman is young. And therefore, if you should deal double with her, truly it were an ill thing to be offered to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing.

Romeo

Nurse, commend me to thy lady and mistress. I protest unto thee,-

Nurse

Good heart, and i’faith I will tell her as much. Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman.

Romeo

What wilt thou tell her, Nurse? Thou dost not mark me.

Nurse

I will tell her, sir, that you do protest, which, as I take it, is a gentlemanlike offer.

Romeo

Bid her devise

Some means to come to shrift this afternoon,

And there she shall at Friar Lawrence’ cell

Be shriv’d and married. Here is for thy pains.

Nurse

No truly, sir; not a penny.

Romeo

Go to; I say you shall.

Nurse

This afternoon, sir? Well, she shall be there.

Romeo

And stay, good Nurse, behind the abbey wall.

Within this hour my man shall be with thee,

And bring thee cords made like a tackled stair,

Which to the high topgallant of my joy

Must be my convoy in the secret night.

Farewell, be trusty, and I’ll quit thy pains;

Farewell; commend me to thy mistress.

Nurse

Now God in heaven bless thee. Hark you, sir.

Romeo

What say’st thou, my dear Nurse?

Nurse

Is your man secret? Did you ne’er hear say,

Two may keep counsel, putting one away?

Romeo

I warrant thee my man’s as true as steel.

Nurse

Well, sir, my mistress is the sweetest lady. Lord, Lord! When ’twas a little prating thing, – O, there is a nobleman in town, one Paris, that would fain lay knife aboard; but she, good soul, had as lief see a toad, a very toad, as see him. I anger her sometimes, and tell her that Paris is the properer man, but I’ll warrant you, when I say so, she looks as pale as any clout in the versal world. Doth not rosemary and Romeo begin both with a letter?

Romeo

Ay, Nurse; what of that? Both with an R.

Nurse

Ah, mocker! That’s the dog’s name. R is for the-no, I know it begins with some other letter, and she hath the prettiest sententious of it, of you and rosemary, that it would do you good to hear it.

Romeo

Commend me to thy lady.

Nurse

Ay, a thousand times. Peter!
