Lasting love, despite fears and doubts
Juliet does not say this at all. She says "I have no joy of this contract tonight." That is completely different. She is talking about herself, and you would have her talking about Romeo. Does that make a difference? Of course it does. Do you remember this conversation between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck? Elmer Fudd is on the point of shooting Bugs because it is wabbit season: Bugs: Ya got me dead to rights, doc. Do you want to shoot me now or wait 'till you get home? Daffy: Shoot him now! Shoot him now! Bugs: You keep out of this--he doesn't have to shoot you now! Daffy: Well, I say that he does have to shoot me now! So shoot me now! So of course Elmer shoots Daffy. It's a good idea to get straight about the difference between "you" and "I" In this case, Juliet is worried that things are moving too fast: it is "too rash, too unadvised, too sudden." She is very happy that Romeo loves her but she is not totally happy at their becoming engaged within a few hours of meeting.
