Question

Can someone help me

[Romeo:] 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.

–Romeo and Juliet,
William Shakespeare
