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.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 3. Romeo’s recklessness and impulsivity are on full display in this plea to Friar Laurence. After only hours of knowing Juliet, he asks the Friar to marry him that very day.
