But thankful even for hate that is meant love.

CAPULET

How, how, how, how? Chopp’d logic? What is this?
‘Proud’ and ‘I thank you’ and ‘I thank you not’ [150]
And yet ‘not proud’? Mistress minion you,
Thank me no thankings nor proud me no prouds,
But fettle your fine joints ’gainst Thursday next
To go with Paris to Saint Peter’s Church,
Or I will drag thee on a hurdle thiter. [155]
Out, you green-sickness carrion! Out, you baggage!
You tallow-face!

LADY CAPULET

Fie, fie. What, are you mad?

JULIET She kneels down.

Good father, I beseech you on my knees.

Hear me with patience but to speak a word.

CAPULET

Hang thee young baggage, disobedient wretch! [160]
I tell thee what - get thee to church a Thursday
Or never after look me in the face.
Speak not, reply not, do not answer me.
My fingers itch. Wife, we scarce thought us blest
That God had lent us but this only child; [165]
But now I see this one is one too much,
And that we have a curse in having her.
Out on her, hilding.

NURSE

God in heaven bless her.
You are to blame, my lord, to rate her so.

CAPULET

And why, my Lady Wisdom? Hold your tongue, [170]
Good Prudence! Smatter with your gossips, go.
