O’er lawyers ’ fingers , who straight dream on fees ; O’er ladies ’ lips , who straight on kisses dream , Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues , Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are : Sometime she gallops o’er a courtier’s nose , And then dreams he of smelling out a suit ; And sometime comes she with a tithe - pig’s tail , Tickling a parson’s nose as a lies asleep , Then dreams he of another benefice : Sometime she driveth o’er a soldier’s neck , And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats , Of breaches , ambuscados , Spanish blades , Of healths five fathom deep ; and then anon Drums in his ear , at which he starts and wakes ; And , being thus frighted , swears a prayer or two , And sleeps again . This is that very Mab That plats the manes of horses in the night ; And bakes the elf - locks in foul sluttish hairs , Which , once untangled , much misfortune bodes : This is the hag , when maids lie on their backs , That presses them , and learns them first to bear , Making them women of good carriage : This is she , — ROMEO . Peace , peace , Mercutio , peace , Thou talk’st of nothing . MERCUTIO . True , I talk of dreams , Which are the children of an idle brain , Begot of nothing but vain fantasy , Which is as thin of substance as the air , And more inconstant than the wind , who woos Even now the frozen bosom of the north , And , being anger’d , puffs away from thence , Turning his side to the dew - dropping south . BENVOLIO . This wind you talk of blows us from ourselves : Supper is done , and we shall come too late . ROMEO . I fear too early : for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars , Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night’s revels ; and expire the term Of a despised life , clos’d in my breast By some vile forfeit of untimely death . But he that hath the steerage of my course Direct my suit . On , lusty gentlemen ! BENVOLIO . Strike , drum . [ Exeunt . ] SCENE V . A Hall in Capulet’s House . Musicians waiting . Enter Servants . FIRST SERVANT . Where’s Potpan , that he helps not to take away ? He shift a trencher ! He scrape a trencher ! SECOND SERVANT . When good manners shall lie all in one or two men’s hands , and they unwash’d too , ’ tis a foul thing . FIRST SERVANT . Away with the join - stools , remove the court - cupboard , look to the plate . Good thou , save me a piece of marchpane ; and as thou loves me , let the porter let in Susan Grindstone and Nell . Antony and Potpan ! SECOND SERVANT . Ay , boy , ready . FIRST SERVANT . You are looked for and called for , asked for and sought for , in the great chamber . SECOND SERVANT . We cannot be here and there too . Cheerly , boys . Be brisk awhile , and the longer liver take all . [ Exeunt . ] Enter Capulet , & c . with the Guests and Gentlewomen to the Maskers .
