NURSE
See where she comes from shrift with merry look. [15]
CAPULET
How now, my headstrong: where have you been gadding?
JULIET
Where I have learnt me to repent the sin
Of disobedient opposition
To you and your behests, and am enjoin’d
By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here, [20]
To beg your pardon. Pardon, I beseech you.
Henceforward I am ever rul’d by you.
She kneels down.
CAPULET
Send for the County, go tell him of this.
I’ll have this knot knit up tomorrow morning.
JULIET
I met the youthful lord at Laurence’ cell, [25]
And gave him what becomed love I might,
Not stepping o’er the bounds of modesty.
CAPULET
Why, I am glad on’t. This is well. Stand up.
This is as’t should be. Let me see the County.
Ay, marry. Go, I say, and fetch him hither. [30]
Now afore God, this reverend holy Friar,
All our whole city is much bound to him.
JULIET
Nurse, will you go with me into my closet,
To help me sort such needful ornaments
As you think fit to furnish me tomorrow? [35]
LADY CAPULET
No, not till Thursday. There is time enough.
CAPULET
