PLZ HELP FAST!!!!!! Make Shakespeare's language from Romeo and Juliet suitable for children to understand.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east and Juliet is the sun!

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief

That thou her maid art far more fair than she.

Be not her maid, since she is envious;

Her vestal livery is but sick and green,

And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.

It is my lady, O, it is my love!

O that she knew she were!

She speaks, yet she says nothing; what of that?

Her eye discourses, I will answer it.

I am too bold: 'tis not to me she speaks.

Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return.

What if her eyes were there, they in her head?

The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,

As daylight doth a lamp. Her eyes in heaven

Would through the airy region stream so bright

That birds would sing and think it were not night.

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand

O that I were a glove upon that hand,

That I might touch that cheek!

Answer: Romeo wanted to see her again; just one more time. He wanted to tell her that he loved her and wanted to be with her forever. He can see her - or at least he knows where she is and the light from the window is drawing him closer to her. He tells her that she is beautiful and so much more beautiful than God's creations. She looks at him through the window and their eyes meet. Nothing on Earth could compare to the love that he has for Juliet. He just wants to be with her forever.
