Question

What does the following speech mean?

O my love! my wife!
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced there.
Tybalt, liest thou there in thy bloody sheet?
O, what more favor can I do to thee,
Than with that hand that cut thy youth in twain
To sunder his that was thine enemy?
Forgive me, cousin! Ah, dear Juliet,
Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believe
That unsubstantial death is amorous,
And that the lean abhorred monster keeps
Thee here in dark to be his paramour?
For fear of that, I still will stay with thee;
And never from this palace of dim night
Depart again. Here, here will I remain
With worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
Here's to my love!
O true apothecary!

C. Romeo is say bye to Juliet in her tomb

Answer 2

C- Romeo is saying goodbye to Juliet in her tomb.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, the two lovers' families were enemies. So, it wasn't possible for them to be together openly. Hatching a scheme for them to be together, Friar Lawrence had given a poison to Juliet that will kill her only for a couple of days. This will enable the others to bury Juliet and then the Friar and Romeo will retrieve Juliet. Then she and Romeo will run away from their families and live happily together.

But things don't go as planned. Due to some delay in the relay of message, Romeo did not know about the poison and the plan. When he went to the tomb, he thinks that she is really dead. So, he begins to mourn her in her tomb. This passage is from Act V scene III of the play.
