Who said the following, and what does it mean? Conceit, more rich in matter than in words, Brags of his substance, not of ornament. They are but beggars that can count their worth; But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up half my sum of wealth. (II. vi. 33-37) Juliet; she is saying that she doesn't care about money. Lady Capulet; she is reminding Juliet how lucky she is to be marrying Paris. Romeo; he is saying that true understanding has made him realize how very lucky he is to be marrying Juliet. Juliet; she is saying that true understanding is enriched by reality and worth more than outward appearances.

Answer: Juliet; she is saying that true understanding is enriched by reality and worth more than outward appearances.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juliet was talking to Romeo in this instance and trying to tell him that it was easy to speak words but that for those words to be properly understood, action must follow them.

In other words she was telling him that to truly understand something, actions must back it up. She then goes on to say to him that the love she has is so much that it has made her feel more wealthy.
