They call for dates②}and quinces③}in the pastry.
[Enter old Capulet.]
Capulet
Come, stir, stir, stir! The second cock hath crowed④:
The curfewbell hath rung, 'tis three o'clock.
Look to the baked meats, good Angelica;
Spare not for cost.
Nurse
Go, you cotquean{},go,
Get you to bed. Faith, you'll be sick tomorrow.
For this night's watching.
Capulet
No, not a whit^{}. What, I have watched ere now
All night for lesser cause, and ne'er been sick
Lady Capulet
Ay, you have been a mouse-hunt in your time,
But I will watch you from such watching now.
