What is the Nurse saying?

Ah! mocker; that's the dog's name. R is for the—No; I know it begins with some other letter: and she had the prettiest sententious of it, of you and rosemary, that it would do you good to hear it. (II, iv, 103-106)

Does she mean Juliet is too good for Romeo, or is she saying they are alike?

Step-by-step explanation:

what is a nurse saying?

in the part before the lines you cite, theNurse criticizes Romeo and warns him that he had better not be toying with Juliet. She tells him that Juliet is young and that no gentleman would toy with her. Romeo tells the nurse that he protests her attitude -- that she's not being fair to him.
