Is there anyone else that utters a malapropism in Romeo and Juliet besides the nurse?

Check out the Nurse in Act II Scene 4. Her most famous malapropism is "I desire some confidence with you." "Confidence" is a malapropism for "conference" but a surprisingly apt one since what the Nurse wishes to discuss is certainly confidential. She also says "I am so vexed that every part above me quivers" when she surely means "about me". And when she says "she hath the prettiest sententious of it", some have said that she really means "sentences". The modern English speaker has a tough time identifying malapropisms in our modern idiom (which is why they are ubiquitous), and it is even harder in Shakespeare where we cannot be exactly sure in some cases what word the idiom of the time might demand.
