Par. These times of woe afford no time to woo: Madam, good night: commend me to your daughter. La. Cap. I will, and know her mind early to morrow; To-night she's mew'd up to her heaviness. Cap. Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender Of my child's love 49: I think, she will be rul'd In all respects by me; nay more, I doubt it not. Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed; Acquaint her here of my son Paris' love; And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday nextBut, soft; What day is this? Par. Monday, my lord. Cap. Monday? ha! ha!

Enter ROMEO and JULIET. [Exeunt. Jul. Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day: Rom. It was the lark, the herald of the morn, Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day Jul. It is, it is, hie hence, be gone, away; It is the lark that sings so out of tune, Straining harsh discords, and unpleasing sharps. Some say, the lark makes sweet division; This doth not so, for she divideth us: Some say, the lark and loathed toad change eyes; O, now I would they had chang'd voices too! Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray, Hunting thee hence with hunts-up 50 to the day. O, now be gone; more light and light it grows. Rom. More light and light?-more dark and dark our woes. |
