It would help if you have the act & scene, so that it can be looked up more easily for us old folks who actually have a copy of the play! Good luck with it. You should rent the movie and read along with the play as you watch it. It will help you understand the play better. Plus, the fight scenes will be fun to watch. Rent the Franco Zeferelli version.
Nurse.
O Lord, I could have stay’d here all the night
To hear good counsel: O, what learning is!–
My lord, I’ll tell my lady you will come.
Romeo.
Do so, and bid my sweet prepare to chide.
___________________________________________
What Romeo is saying to the Nurse is that he knows that he has caused Juliet sorrow by killing her cousin, Tybalt, and that he expects and will accept being scolded by her for his actions.
My major in college was English and British Literature, and I have to say, Shakespeare was one of my all time favorites.
Hope this helps.
