To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord.

Jul. Love, give me strength! and strength shall help afford.

Farewell, dear father!

Cap. So many guests invite as here are writ.

Sirrah, go hire me twenty cunning cooks.

Sec. Serv. You shall have none ill, sir; for

I'll try if they can lick their fingers.

Cap. How canst thou try them so?

Sec. Serv. Marry, sir, 'tis an ill cook that

cannot lick his own fingers: therefore he that

cannot lick his fingers goes not with me.

Cap. Go, be gone.

We shall be much unfurnish'd for this time.

What! is my daughter gone to Friar Laurence?

Nurse. Ay, forsooth.

Cap. Well, he may chance to do some good on her:

A peevish self-will'd harlotry it is.

Nurse. See where she comes from shrift with merry look.

Cap. How now, my headstrong! where have you been gadding?

Jul. Where I have learn'd me to repent the sin

Of disobedient opposition

 10 unfurnish'd: unprepared

14 peevish: perverse

harlotry: silly wench
