Nurse Monologue from Romeo and Juliet

From Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

any · dramatic · 1:12 min

Now, afore God, I am so vexed that every part about me quivers. Scurvy knave. Pray you, sir, a word: and as I told you, my young lady bid me enquire you out; what she bade me say, I will keep to myself. But first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her in a fool’s paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behaviour, as they say; for the gentlewoman is young. And therefore, if you should deal double with her, truly it were an ill thing to be offered to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing. (ROMEO: Nurse, commend me to thy lady and mistress. I protest unto thee,—) Good heart, and i’faith I will tell her as much. Lord, Lord, she will be a joyful woman. (ROMEO: What wilt thou tell her, Nurse? Thou dost not mark me.) I will tell her, sir, that you do protest, which, as I take it, is a gentlemanlike offer.
