Question

What does the following speech mean?

Hold, then. Go home, be merry, give consent
To marry Paris. Wednesday is to-morrow.
To-morrow night look that thou lie alone;
Let not the nurse lie with thee in thy chamber.
Take thou this vial, being then in bed,
And this distilled liquor drink thou off;
When presently through all thy veins shall run
A cold and drowsy humour; for no pulse
Shall keep his native progress, but surcease;
No warmth, no breath, shall testify thou liv'st;
The roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade
To paly ashes, thy eyes' windows fall
Like death when he shuts up the day of life;
Each part, depriv'd of supple government,
Shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death;
And in this borrowed likeness of shrunk death
Thou shalt continue two-and-forty hours,
And then awake as from a pleasant sleep.
Now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes
To rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou dead
Then, as the manner of our country is,
In thy best robes uncovered on the bier
Thou shalt be borne to that same ancient vault
Where all the kindred of the Capulets lie.
In the mean time, against thou shalt awake,
Shall Romeo by my letters know our drift;
And hither shall he come; and he and I
Will watch thy waking, and that very night
Shall Romeo bear thee hence to Mantua.
And this shall free thee from this present shame,
If no inconstant toy nor womanish fear
Abate thy valour in the acting it.

Answer 2

C. Friar Laurence is telling Juliet how to take the potion.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his cell, Friar Lawrence talks with Paris about the last's looming marriage to Juliet. Paris says that Juliet's misery regarding Tybalt's passing has made her lopsided and that Capulet, in his astuteness, has decided they ought to wed soon so that Juliet can quit crying and put a conclusion to her time of grieving. The monk comments to himself that he wants to be uninformed of the reason that Paris' marriage to Juliet ought to be deferred.

Juliet enters, and Paris addresses her affectionately, if to some degree haughtily. Juliet reacts impassively, demonstrating neither warmth nor detest. She comments that she has not hitched him yet. On the affectation that he should hear Juliet's admission, Friar Lawrence ushers Paris away, however not before Paris kisses Juliet once. After Paris leaves, Juliet approaches Friar Lawrence for assistance, wielding a blade and saying that she will execute herself as opposed to wed Paris. The minister proposes an arrangement: Juliet must agree to wed Paris; at that point, on the night prior to the wedding, she should drink a dozing elixir that will cause her to have all the earmarks of being dead; she will be let go in the Capulet tomb, and the monk will reach out to Romeo in Mantua to enable him to recover her when she awakens. She will at that point come back to Mantua with Romeo, and be allowed to live with him far from their folks' scorn. Juliet agrees to the arrangement wholeheartedly. Monk Lawrence gives her the sleeping potion.
