FRIAR LAURENCE: Come, is the bride ready to go to church?
CAPULET: Ready to go, but never to return.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 4, Scene 5. Friar Laurence asks if Juliet is ready to go to church for her wedding. Capulet replies with bitter irony that as a corpse she is ready to go for a funeral and never return.
