Juliet's father tells her of the marriage he has planned for her :

Capulet : Marry my child, early next Thursday morn,
The gallant, young and noble gentleman,
The county Paris, at Saint Peter's Church,
Shall happily make thee there a joyful bride.

Juliet : Now, by Saint Peter's Church, and Peter too,
He shall not make me there a joyful bride.
I wonder at this haste; that I must wed
Ere he that should be my husband comes to woo.
I pray you, my noble lord and father,
I will not marry yet ; and yet, when I do, I swear,
It shall be Romeo, whom you know I hate,
Rather than Paris. these are news indeed !
