Read the excerpt from Act II of Romeo and Juliet.Benvolio: Romeo! my cousin Romeo! Romeo! Mercutio: He is wise,And, on my life, hath stol'n him home to bed.Benvolio: He ran this way, and leapt this orchard wall.Call, good Mercutio. Mercutio: Nay, I'll conjure too.

Mercutio says Romeo “hath stol’n him home to bed,” meaning he has quietly gone home to sleep. This matches “he has gone off to sleep.” The orchard-wall line suggests Romeo was nearby, but it does not change what Mercutio thinks he has done.
