Nurse. By my troth, it is well said; 'for himself to[626]
mar,' quoth a'? Gentlemen, can any of you tell me where[627] 110
I may find the young Romeo?[628]
Rom. I can tell you; but young Romeo will be older
when you have found him than he was when you sought
him: I am the youngest of that name, for fault of a worse.
Nurse. You say well. 115
Mer. Yea, is the worst well? very well took, i' faith;
wisely, wisely.
Nurse. If you be he, sir, I desire some confidence with[629]
you.
Ben. She will indite him to some supper.[630] 120
Mer. A bawd, a bawd, a bawd! So ho!
Rom. What hast thou found?[631]
Mer. No hare, sir; unless a hare, sir, in a lenten pie,[631]
that is something stale and hoar ere it be spent.[631][632] [Sings.
An old hare hoar,[631][633] 125
And an old hare hoar,[631][633]
Is very good meat in lent:[631][633]
But a hare that is hoar,[631][633]
Is too much for a score,[631][633]
When it hoars ere it be spent.[631][633] 130
Romeo, will you come to your father's? we'll to dinner thither.
Rom. I will follow you.
