one day when she did fall

and cut her brow,

my husband, rest his soul,

picked up the child.

"Why do you fall

on your face?" says he,

"You will fall backward

when you have more wit."

And looking up at him,

the child said, "Yes."

Enough of this. I pray you,

hold your peace.

Yet, madam, I must laugh

to think a child

could stop crying like that

and then say "yes" to Jack.

Nurse, I pray you, stop.

I beg.

Peace, I have done.

But I must say,

you were the prettiest babe

I ever nursed till now.

If I could live to see you wed,

I'll have my wish.

And that is the very theme

that I came to talk about.

Tell me, daughter,

what do you think of marriage?

- I never think of it.

- Well, think of it now.

Younger than you

are mothers.

I was your mother, too,

when I was your age.

I know it.

Count Paris wants you

for his wife and love.

Count Paris?

So, daughter...

- ...can you love the man?

- I hardly know him.

Then learn to know him

at the feast tonight.

Seek how you feel.

Study his eyes

and read the message there.

See...

...if you can be

happy with him.

I'll look and try to like him,

if that is my parents' wish.

ROMEO:
Should we attempt

to talk our way inside

or sweep past in a crowd

without a word?

Say nothing,

lest you say too much.

We will not challenge them

for fear they challenge us.

We'll enter,

take the lady's measure,

and having taken it,

depart.

MERCUTIO:
Nay, gentle Romeo,

we must see you dance.

ROMEO:
Not I, Mercutio.

You have the dancing shoes

and dancing feet to fill them.

My soul is made of lead.

It sticks me to the ground,

I cannot move.

You are a lover.

Borrow Cupid's wings and fly.

(MAN ANNOUNCING

THE ARRIVAL OF GUESTS)

ROMEO:
But should we enter?

I start to fear some consequence

yet hanging in the stars

shall bitterly begin

this fearful date.

Maybe we should consider

what we do.

I dreamed a dream last night.

(CHUCKLES) And so did I.

Well, what was yours?

That dreamers often lie.

In bed asleep,

where they do dream things true.

Ha! Then I see Queen Mab

has been with you.

She is the fairies' midwife,

and she comes in shape no bigger

than an agate stone

on the forefinger

of an alderman,

drawn with a team

of little atomies,

athwart men's noses

as they lie asleep.

Her chariot

is an empty hazelnut,

and in this state,

she gallops night by night

through lovers brains,

and then they dream of love,

o'er courtiers knees that dream

on curtsies straight,

o'er lawyers fingers,

who straight dream on fees,

o'er ladies' lips,

who straight on kisses dream.

Peace, peace,

Mercutio, enough.

You talk of nothing.

True, I talk of dreams,

which are the children

of an idle brain
