Look to the baked meats, good Angelica.
Spare not for the cost.
CAPULET
Come on, wake up, wake up, wake up! The second cock crowed. The
curfew-bell rang. It's three o'clock. Go get the
baked meats, good Angelica. Don't worry about the
cost.
NURSE
Go,
you cot-quean, go.
Get you to bed, faith. You'll be sick tomorrow
For this night's watching.
NURSE
Go, you old housewife, go. Go to bed, dear. You'll be
sick tomorrow because you've stayed up all night.
CAPULET
No, not a whit, what. I have watched ere now

All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick.
CAPULET
No, not at all. What? I've stayed up all night many times
before for less important matters, and I've never gotten
sick.
LADY CAPULET
Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time,
But I will watch you from such watching now.
LADY CAPULET
Yes, you've been a ladies' man in your time. But
I'll make sure you don't stay up any later
now.
Exeunt LADY CAPULET and
