Well, Wednesday is too soon;O’ Thursday let it be: o’ Thursday, tell her,She shall be married to this noble earl.Will you be ready? do you like this haste? We’ll keep no great ado; a friend or two;For, hark you, Tybalt being slain so late,It may be thought we held him carelessly,Being our kinsman, if we revel much.Therefore we’ll have some half a dozen friends, And there an end. But what say you to Thursday? Paris: My lord, I would that Thursday were to-morrow.
