Read the excerpt from Act IV, scene i of Romeo and Juliet. Friar Laurence: On Thursday, sir? the time is very short.

Paris: My father Capulet will have it so;

And I am nothing slow to slack his haste.

Friar Laurence: You say you do not know the lady’s mind:

Uneven is the course, I like it not.

Paris: Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt’s death,

And therefore have I little talk’d of love;

For Venus smiles not in a house of tears.
