Juliet. Come hither, Nurse. What is yond gentle-

man? 245

Nurse. The son and heir of old Tiberio.

Juliet. What's he that now is going out of door?

Nurse. Marry, that I think be young Petruchio.

Juliet. What's he that follows here that would not
dance?

Nurse. I know not. 250

Juliet. Go ask his name. If he be married
My grave is like to be my wedding bed.

Nurse. His name is Romeo, and a Montague,

The only son of your great enemy. 254

Juliet. My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me
That I must love a loathed enemy.

Nurse. What's this? what's this?

Juliet. A rhyme I learn'd e'en now
Of one I danc'd withal.
One calls within, ' Juliet!'

Nurse. Anon, anon! 260
Come, let's away, the strangers all are gone. Exeunt.

[Enter Chorus.]

CHORUS. Now old Desire doth in his deathbed lie,
And young Affection gapes to be his heir.
That fair for which Love groan'd for and would die,

With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair. 265
Now Romeo is belov'd and loves again,
