Romeo: then plainly know my heart's dear love is set
on the fair daughter of rich capulet:
as mine on hers, so hers is set on mine;
and all combin'd, save what thou must combine
by holy marriage: when and where and how
we met we woo'd and made exchange of vow,
i'll tell thee as we pass; but this i pray,
that thou consent to marry us to-day.
—romeo and juliet,
william shakespeare
