Shakespeare has often puzzled his readers through the centuries but not overtly with the scene in part to follow: the garrulous, flighty servant, the touchingly direct young girl. What is there here to engage our attention?
Enter Nurse.
# Juliet… O God she comes, O hony Nurse what news?
Hast thou met with him? send thy man away.
# Nurse. Peter stay at the gate.
# Jul. Now good sweet Nurse:
O Lord, why lookest thou so sad?Though newes be sad, yet tell them merrily.If good thou sham'st the musicke of sweet newes,By playing it to me, with so sower a face.
