**__Discussion Text - Act II Scene IV__**
I would thou hadst my bones, and I thy news: Nay, come, I pray thee, speak; good, good nurse, speak. Jesu, what haste? can you not stay awhile?
 * JULIET **
 * Nurse **

 Do you not see that I am out of breath? How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath
 * JULIET **

 To say to me that thou art out of breath?

 The excuse that thou dost make in this delay

 Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Is thy news good, or bad? answer to that;

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Say either, and I'll stay the circumstance:

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Let me be satisfied, is't good or bad? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Well, you have made a simple choice; you know not how to choose a man: Romeo! no, not he; though his face be better than any man's, yet his leg excels all men's; and for a hand, and a foot, and a body, though they be not to be talked on, yet they are past compare: he is not the flower of courtesy,
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Nurse **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> but, I'll warrant him, as gentle as a lamb. Go thy ways, wench; serve God. What, have you dined at home? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">No, no: but all this did I know before.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">JULIET **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> What says he of our marriage? what of that? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Lord, how my head aches! what a head have I!
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Nurse **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> It beats as it would fall in twenty pieces.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> My back o' t' other side,--O, my back, my back!

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Beshrew your heart for sending me about,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> To catch my death with jaunting up and down! <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I' faith, I am sorry that thou art not well.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">JULIET **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Sweet, sweet, sweet nurse, tell me, what says my love? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Your love says, like an honest gentleman, and a courteous, and a kind, and a handsome, and, I warrant, a virtuous,--Where is your mother? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Where is my mother! why, she is within;
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Nurse **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">JULIET **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Where should she be? How oddly thou repliest!

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Nurse** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">'Your love says, like an honest gentleman,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Where is your mother?'
