[Exit Romeo]

Peter

Anon.

Nurse

Before and apace.

[Exeunt.]

Scene V

Capulet’s Garden. Enter Juliet.

Juliet

The clock struck nine when I did send the Nurse,

In half an hour she promised to return.

Perchance she cannot meet him. That’s not so.

O, she is lame. Love’s heralds should be thoughts,

Which ten times faster glides than the sun’s beams,

Driving back shadows over lowering hills:

Therefore do nimble-pinion’d doves draw love,

And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.

Now is the sun upon the highmost hill

Of this day’s journey, and from nine till twelve

Is three long hours, yet she is not come.

Had she affections and warm youthful blood,

She’d be as swift in motion as a ball;

My words would bandy her to my sweet love,

And his to me.

But old folks, many feign as they were dead;

Unwieldy, slow, heavy and pale as lead.

Enter Nurse and Peter.

O God, she comes. O honey Nurse, what news?

Hast thou met with him? Send thy man away.

Nurse

Peter, stay at the gate.

[Exit Peter.]

Juliet

Now, good sweet Nurse, – O Lord, why look’st thou sad?

Though news be sad, yet tell them merrily;

If good, thou sham’st the music of sweet news

By playing it to me with so sour a face.

Nurse

I am aweary, give me leave awhile;

Fie, how my bones ache! What a jaunt have I had!

Juliet

I would thou hadst my bones, and I thy news:

Nay come, I pray thee speak; good, good Nurse, speak.

Nurse

Jesu, what haste? Can you not stay a while? Do you not see that I am out of breath?

Juliet

How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath

To say to me that thou art out of breath?

The excuse that thou dost make in this delay

Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse.
