Now God in heaven bless thee! Hark you, sir. |
|
| NURSE |
|
May God in heaven bless you. Now please listen, sir. |

What sayst thou, my dear Nurse? |
|
| ROMEO |
|
What do you have to say, my dear Nurse? |

Is your man secret? Did you ne'er hear say, |
| |
“Two may keep counsel, putting one
away”? |
|
| NURSE |
|
Can your man keep a secret? Haven't you ever heard the
saying, “Two can conspire to put one
away”? |
|
| | ROMEO |
| |
Warrant thee, my man's as true as steel. |
|
| ROMEO |
|
I assure you, my man is as true as steel. |

Well, sir, my mistress is the sweetest lady.—Lord,
Lord! when 'twas a little prating thing.—Oh,
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? |

| NURSE |

Well, sir, my mistress is the sweetest lady. Lord, Lord, when she
was a little baby—Oh, there is one nobleman in the city,
a guy named Paris, who would be happy to claim her as his own.
Juliet would rather look at a toad than at him. I make her angry
sometimes by saying that Paris is more handsome than you are. But
when I say so, I swear she turns white as a sheet. Don't “rosemary
” and “Romeo” begin with
the same letter? |
|
| | ROMEO |
| |
Ay, Nurse, what of that? Both with an
R. |
|
| ROMEO |
|
Yes, Nurse, what about that? They both begin with the letter
“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. |
|
| NURSE |
|
Ah, you jokester—that's the dog's
name. “R” is for the—no, I know
it begins with another letter. She says the most beautiful things
about you and rosemary. It would be good for you to hear the things
she says. |
|
| | ROMEO |
| |
Commend me to thy lady. |
|
| ROMEO |
|
Give my compliments to your lady. |
|
| | NURSE |
| |
Ay, a thousand times.—Peter! |
|
| NURSE |
|
Yes, a thousand times. Peter! |
|
|
|
|
| NURSE |
|
(giving PETER
her fan) Go ahead. Go quickly. |
