What is the purpose of the following allusion?

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: (II. ii. 6-9)

- Romeo wants the sun to rise and the night to end.

- Romeo does not want Jullet to be like Rosaline, who was like the goddess Diana.

- Romeo is trying to wake Juliet

- Nurse is trying to wake Jullet: she still has not realized that Jullet is really "dead".
