Make haste! The bridegroom he is come already.
Make haste I say.

                         Scene V IT

                      Nurse goes to curtains.

NURSE

 Mistress! What, mistress! Juliet! Fast, I warrant her, she.
 Why, lamb, why, lady, fie! You slug-abed!
 Why, love I say! Madam! Sweetheart! Why, bride!
 What, not a word? You take your pennyworths now.
 Sleep for a week; for the next night, I warrant, [5]
 The County Paris hath set up his rest
 That you shall rest but little! God forgive me!
 Marry and amen. How sound is the asleep!
 I needs must wake her. Madam, madam, madam!
 Ay, let the County take you in your bed, [10]
 He’ll fright you up, i’ faith. Will it not be?
 What, dress’d, and in your clothes, and down again?
 I must needs wake you. Lady! Lady! Lady!
 Alas, alas! Help, help! My lady’s dead!
 O weraday that ever I was born. [15]
 Some aqua vitae, ho! My lord! My lady!

                                   Enter Lady Capulet.

LADY CAPULET

 What noise is here?

NURSE

       O lamentable day!

LADY CAPULET

 What is the matter?

NURSE

       Look, look! O heavy day!
