[Act IV

SCENE 1]

Enter Friar and County Paris.

Friar. On Thursday, sir? the time is very short.

Paris. My father Capulet will have it so,
And I am nothing slow to slack his haste.

Friar. You say you do not know the lady's mind?
Uneven is the course, I like it not. 		5

Paris. Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death,
And therefore have I little talk'd of love,
For Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
Now sir, her father counts it dangerous

That she do give her sorrow so much sway, 10
And in his wisdom hastes our marriage
To stop the inundation of her tears,
Which, too much minded by herself alone,
May be put from her by society.
Now do you know the reason of this haste. 15

Friar. [Aside.] I would I knew not why it should
be slow'd!
Look sir, here comes the lady toward my cell.

Enter Juliet.

Paris. Happily met, my lady and my wife.

Juliet. That may be, sir, when I may be a wife.
