Scene III. Room in Capulet's House.
[Enter Lady Capulet, and Nurse.]
LADY CAPULET.
Nurse, where's my daughter? call her forth to me.
NURSE.
Now, by my maidenhea, — at twelve year old, —
I bade her come. — What, lamb! what ladybird! —
God forbid! — where's this girl? — what, Juliet!
[Enter Juliet.]
JULIET.
How now, who calls?
NURSE.
Your mother.
JULIET.
Madam, I am here. What is your will?
LADY CAPULET.
This is the matter, — Nurse, give leave awhile,
We must talk in secret: nurse, come back again;
I have remember'd me, thou's hear our counsel.
Thou knowest my daughter's of a pretty age.
NURSE.
Faith, I can tell her age unto an hour.
LADY CAPULET.
She's not fourteen.
NURSE.
I'll lay fourteen of my teeth, —
And yet, to my teen be it spoken, I have but four, —
She is not fourteen. How long is it now
To Lammas-tide?
LADY CAPULET.
A fortnight and odd days.
