JULIET
Ay, those attires are best. But, gentle Nurse,
I pray thee, leave me to myself tonight,
For I have need of many orisons
To move the heavens to smile upon my state,
Which, well thou know’st, is cross and full of
sin.
|
JULIET
Yes, those are the best clothes. But, gentle Nurse, please leave
me alone tonight. I have to say a lot of prayers to make the heavens
bless me. You know that my life is troubled and full of sin.

JULIET
No, madam. We have culled such necessaries
As are behooveful for our state tomorrow.
So please you, let me now be left alone,
And let the Nurse this night sit up with you.
For, I am sure, you have your hands full all
In this so sudden business.
|
JULIET
No, madam, we’ve figured out the best things for me to
wear tomorrow at the ceremony. So if it’s okay with you,
I’d like to be left alone now. Let the Nurse sit up with
you tonight. I’m sure you have your hands full preparing
for the sudden festivities.

night.
Get thee to bed and rest, for thou hast need.

need it.

JULIET
Farewell!—God knows when we shall meet again.
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins
That almost freezes up the heat of life.
I’ll call them back again to comfort me.—
Nurse!—What should she do here?
|
JULIET
Good-bye. Only God knows when we’ll meet again. There is
a slight cold fear cutting through my veins. It almost freezes the
heat of life. I’ll call them back here to comfort me.
Nurse!—Oh, what good would she do here?
In my desperate situation, I have to act alone.
