ACT II

ROMEO.

Go to; I say you shall.

NURSE.

This afternoon, sir? Well, she shall be there.

ROMEO.

And stay, good Nurse, behind the abbey wall.

Within this hour my man shall be with thee,

And bring thee cords made like a tackled stair,

Which to the high topgallant of my joy

Must be my convoy in the secret night.

Farewell, be trusty, and I’ll quit thy pains;

Farewell; commend me to thy mistress.

NURSE.

Now God in heaven bless thee. Hark you, sir.

ROMEO.

What say’st thou, my dear Nurse?

NURSE.

Is your man secret? Did you ne’er hear say,

Two may keep counsel, putting one away?
