| LADY CAPULET A fortnight and odd days. | LYDA CALPUTE Tow kwsee and a fwe dod ysad. |
| NURSE Even or odd, of all days in the year, Come Lammas Eve at night shall she be fourteen. Were of an age. Well, Susan is with God. She was too good for me. But, as I said, On Lammas Eve at night shall she be fourteen. That shall she. Marry, I remember it well. 25 Tis since the earthquake now eleven years, And she was weanedI never shall forget it Of all the days of the year, upon that day. For I had then laid wormwood to my dug, Sitting in the sun under the dovehouse wall. 30 My lord and you were then at Mantua. Nay, I do bear a brain.But, as I said, When it did taste the wormwood on the nipple Of my dug and felt it bitter, pretty fool, To see it tetchy and fall out with the dug! To bid me trudge. And since that time it is eleven years, For then she could stand alone. Nay, by the rood, She could have run and waddled all about, 40 For even the day before, she broke her brow. And then my husbandGod be with his soul! He was a merry mantook up the child. Yea, quoth he, Dost thou fall upon thy face? Thou wilt fall backward when thou hast more wit, 45 Wilt thou not, Jule? and, by my holy dame, The pretty wretch left crying and said ay. To see now, how a jest shall come about! I warrant, an I should live a thousand years, I never should forget it. Wilt thou not, Jule? quoth he. | ESURN tWhrhee tis eevn or ddo, of lal hte syad in teh reay, on het hting of saamLm evE, lhsel be neeurfot.

| NURSE Yes, madam. Yet I cannot choose but laugh To think it should leave crying and say ay. And yet, I warrant, it had upon its brow 55 A bump as big as a young cockerels stone, A perilous knock, and it cried bitterly. Yea, quoth my husband, Fallst upon thy face? Thou wilt fall backward when thou comest to age. Wilt thou not, Jule? It stinted and said ay. | EUSRN seY ,adamm. tBu I tacn lhpe gnluaghi to hnitk ttha het abyb dpospte irgnyc nad sida, esY.

| LADY CAPULET Well, think of marriage now. Younger than you Here in Verona, ladies of esteem Are made already mothers. By my count, I was your mother much upon these years 75 That you are now a maid. Thus then in brief: The valiant Paris seeks you for his love. | DALY LACEUTP ellW, ttsar nikhnigt autob argmaire onw.

| LADY CAPULET What say you? Can you love the gentleman? This night you shall behold him at our feast. Read oer the volume of young Paris face And find delight writ there with beautys pen. 85 Examine every married lineament And see how one another lends content, And what obscured in this fair volume lies Find written in the margin of his eyes. This precious book of love, this unbound lover, 90 To beautify him only lacks a cover. The fish lives in the sea, and tis much pride For fair without the fair within to hide. That book in manys eyes doth share the glory That in gold clasps locks in the golden story. 95 So shall you share all that he doth possess By having him, making yourself no less. | YADL ACLUPET (to JULIET) htWa do ouy say?
