Some comfort, Nurse.

Nurse. Faith, here it is:
Romeo is banish'd, and all the world to nothing
That he dares ne'er come back to challenge you,

Or if he do it needs must be by stealth. 215
Then since the case so stands as now it doth,
I think it best you marry'd with the County.
O he's a lovely gentleman!
Romeo's a dishclout to him. An eagle, madam,
Hath not so green, so quick, so fair an eye 220
As Paris hath. Beshrew my very heart,
I think you're happy in this second match,
For it excels your first, or if 't did not
Your first is dead--or 'twere as good he were,
As living here and you no use of him. 225

Juliet. Speak'st thou from thy heart?

Nurse. And from my soul too, else beshrew them
both.

Juliet. Amen.

Nurse. What?

Juliet. Well, thou hast comforted me marvelous
much. 		230

Go in and tell my lady I am gone,
Having displeas'd my father, to Lawrence' cell
To make confession and to be absolv'd.

Nurse. Marry I will, and this is wisely done. [Exit.]
〈Juliet looks after Nurse.〉

Juliet. Ancient damnation! O most wicked fiend!
