That I will show you shining at this feast,
And she shall scant show well that now shows best. 104
Rom. I'll go along, no such sight to be shown,
But to rejoice in splendour of mine own.
Scene Three
[A Room in Capulet's House]
Enter Capulet's Wife, and Nurse.
Lady Cap. Nurse, where's my daughter? call her forth to me.
Nurse. Now, by my maidenhead, at twelve year old,—
I bade her come. What, lamb! what, ladybird!
God forbid! where's this girl? what, Juliet! 4
Enter Juliet.
Jul. How now! who calls?
Nurse. Your mother.
Jul. Madam, I am here.
What is your will?
Lady Cap. This is the matter. Nurse, give leave awhile.
We must talk in secret: nurse, come back again; 8
I have remember'd me, thou's hear our counsel.
Thou know'st my daughter's of a pretty age.
Nurse. Faith, I can tell her age unto an hour.
Lady Cap. She's not fourteen.
Nurse. I'll lay fourteen of my teeth— 12
And yet to my teen be it spoken I have but four—
She is not fourteen. How long is it now
To Lammas-tide?
7 give leave: leave us
9 thou's: thou shalt
12 lay: wager
13 teen: grief
15 Lammas-tide: August 1
