Romeo And Juliet (Shakespeare Classics) by William Shakespeare

Act 2 • Scene 5
Is the news good or bad?
What does he say about our marriage?
NURSE: Lord, how my head aches!
It feels as if it would break in 20 pieces.
Oh, my back, my back! Shame on you
For sending me all over town.
JULIET: I am sorry that you are not feeling well.
Sweet nurse, tell me what my love said.
NURSE: Your love says, like a kind gentleman,
And courteous, handsome, and virtuous—
But where is your mother?
JULIET: Where is my mother? Why, she is inside.
What does he want with my mother?
NURSE: Oh, dear! You are angry. Is this how
You give comfort for my aching bones?
From now on, do your messages yourself.
JULIET: You’re making such a fuss!
Come, tell me. What did Romeo say?
NURSE: Do you have permission to
Go to confession today?
JULIET: I have.
NURSE: Then go to Friar Lawrence’s cell.
There waits a husband to make you a wife.
I see that you are blushing!
Get to church. I must go another way
To get a ladder, which Romeo will use
To climb to your room when it is dark.
