Which line in this excerpt from act II of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet reveal that Count Paris wants to marry Juliet as soon as possible?
PARIS: These times of woe afford no time to woo.
Madam, good night: commend me to your daughter.
LADY CAPULET: I will, and know her mind early to-morrow;
To-night she is mew'd up to her heaviness.
CAPULET: Sir Paris, I will make a desperate tender
Of my child's love: I think she will be ruled
In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not.
Wife, go you to her ere you go to bed;
Acquaint her here of my son Paris' love;
And bid her, mark you me, on Wednesday next—
But, soft! what day is this?
PARIS: Monday, my lord,
CAPULET: Monday! ha, ha! 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.
