Romeo and Juliet Page #2
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?
- Well, think of it now.
Younger than you
are mothers.
I was your mother, too,
when I was your age.
I know it.
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 attemptto 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,
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
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.
(CHUCKLES) And so did I.
Well, what was yours?
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,
through lovers brains,
and then they dream of love,
o'er courtiers knees that dream
on curtsies straight,
o'er lawyers fingers,
o'er ladies' lips,
Peace, peace,
Mercutio, enough.
You talk of nothing.
True, I talk of dreams,
which are the children
of an idle brain
