From Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, 1596:
KATHARINA:
No shame but mine: I must, forsooth, be forced
To give my hand opposed against my heart
Unto a mad-brain rudesby full of spleen;
Who woo'd in haste and means to wed at leisure.
See also: Marry in haste, repent at leisure.
Woe is me
What’s the origin of the phrase ‘Who wooed in haste, and means to wed at leisure’?
