94 ROMEO AND JULIET. 

Madam, if you could find out but a man 
To bear a poison, I would temper it, 
That Romeo should, upon receipt thereof. 
Soon sleep in quiet. 0, how my heart abhors 
To hear him nam'd, and cannot come to him, 
To wreak the love I bore my cousin 
Upon his body that hath slaughter'd him ! 

Lacli/ Capulet. Find thou the means, and I'll find such 
a man. 
But now I'll tell thee joyful tidings, girl. 

Juliet. And joy comes well in such a needy time. 
What are they, I beseech your ladyship? 

Lady Capulet. Well, well, thou hast a careful father, 
child; 
One who, to put thee from thy heaviness, 
Hath sorted out a sudden day of joy, 
That thou expect'st not, nor I look'd not for. 

Jxdiet. Madam, in happy time, what day is that ? 

Lady Cajjulet. Marry, my child, early next Thursday 
morn. 
The gallant, young, and noble gentleman, 
The County Paris, at Saint Peter's Church, 
Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride. 

Juliet. Now, by Saint's Peter Church and Peter too, 
He shall not make me there a joyful bride. 
I Avonder at this haste ; that I must wed 
Ere he that should be husband comes to woo.
