Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare, who was an English poet, writer, among many others. It tells the story of the Capulet and the Montague and how the main characters (who name the play and belong to different families) cannot be together due to this rivalry.

In the excerpt, the indicated words provide a whimsical and lighthearted tone.
