A Hall in Capulet's House.
 Enter CAPULET, LADY CAPULET, NURSE and two SERVANTS.

Capulet	So many guests invite as here are writ.
											[Exit SERVANT.
	Sirrah, go hire me twenty cunning cooks.

Servant	You shall have none ill, sir, for I'll try if they can lick 
	their fingers.

Capulet	How! Canst thou try them so?

Servant	Marry sir, 'tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own 
	fingers; therefore he that cannot lick his fingers goes not 
	with me.

Capulet	Go, be gone.
											[Exit SERVANT.
	We shall be much unfurnished for this time.
	What, is my daughter gone to Friar Laurence?

Nurse	Ay, forsooth.

Capulet	Well, he may chance to do some good on her.
	A peevish self-willed harlotry it is.

                              Enter JULIET.

Nurse	See where she comes from shrift with merry look.

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 enjoined
	By holy Laurence to fall prostrate here,
	To beg your pardon. Pardon, I beseech you!
	Henceforward I am ever ruled by you.

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,
	And gave him what becomd 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.
	[To NURSE.] Let me see the County;
	Ay, marry, go, I say, and fetch him hither.
	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?

Lady Capulet	No, not till Thursday; there is time enough.

Capulet	Go, Nurse, go with her. We'll to church tomorrow.
											[Exeunt JULIET and NURSE.

Lady Capulet	We shall be short in our provision;
	'Tis now near night.

Capulet							Tush, I will stir about;
	And all things shall be well, I warrant thee, wife.
	Go thou to Juliet, help to deck up her.
	I'll not to bed tonight; let me alone;
	I'll play the housewife for this once. What ho!
	They are all forth; well, I will walk myself
	To County Paris to prepare up him
	Against tomorrow. My heart is wondrous light
	Since this same wayward girl is so reclaimed.
											[Exeunt.
