Read Romeo's first speech in the excerpt:

Romeo: It was the lark, the herald of the morn;
No nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder East.
Night’s candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.


What effect does this speech have on this scene?


It creates surprise by foreshadowing that the lark—that is, the daytime—will disappear sooner than expected.

It creates humor by foreshadowing that, as with the disagreement about the identity of the bird, Romeo and Juliet will continue having disagreements.

It creates suspense by foreshadowing that as the day advances, Romeo is in greater and greater danger.

It creates grief by foreshadowing that Romeo and Juliet will never again love each other as much as in this scene.

Answer:

The effect that this speech has on this scene is that It creates suspense by foreshadowing that as the day advances, Romeo is in greater and greater danger.

Step-by-step explanation:

This speech talks about Romeo having to leave to keep himself away from a severe punishment for the recent events, then as the day advances and if he stays in that city he is in greater and greater danger, we can also see this in the specific line at the end "I must be gone and live, or stay and die." which is in fact foreshadowing the end of Romeo.
