ROMEO AND JULIET. 67 eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel ? Thy head is as full of quarrels as au egg is full of meat, and yet thy head hath been beaten as addle as an egg for quarrelling. Thou hast quarrelled with a man for coughing in the street, because he hath wakened thy dog that hath lain asleep in the sun. Didst thou not fall out with a tailor for wearing his new doublet before Easter ? with another, for tying his new shoes with old riband ? and yet thou wilt tutor me from quarrelling ! Benvolio. An I were so apt to quarrel as thou art, any man should buy the fee-simple of my life for an hour and a quarter. Mercutio. The fee-simple ! simj^le ! Benvolio. By my head, here come the Capulets. Mercutio. By my heel, I care not. Enter Tybalt and others. Tybalt. Follow me close, for I will speak to them. — Gentlemen, good den ; a word with one of you. Mercutio. And but one word with one of us ? couple it with something, make it a word and a blow. Tybalt. You shall find me apt enough to that, sir, an you will give me occasion. Mercutio. Could you not take some occasion without giving ? Tybalt. Mercutio, thou consort'st with Romeo, — Mercutio. Consort ! what, dost thou make us minstrels ?
