A hall--a hall! give room! and foot it, girls.--
[Music plays, and they dance.] More light, you knaves; and turn the tables up, And quench the fire, the room is grown too hot.-- Ah, sirrah, this unlook'd-for sport comes well. Nay, sit, nay, sit, good cousin Capulet; For you and I are past our dancing days; How long is't now since last yourself and I Were in a mask? 2 Capulet. By'r Lady, thirty years. Capulet. What, man! 'tis not so much, 'tis not so much: 'Tis since the nuptial of Lucentio, Come Pentecost as quickly as it will, Some five-and-twenty years; and then we mask'd. 2 Capulet. 'Tis more, 'tis more: his son is elder, sir; His son is thirty. Capulet. Will you tell me that? His son was but a ward two years ago. Romeo. What lady is that, which doth enrich the hand Of yonder knight? |
