What is Mercutio saying?

More than prince of cats, I can tell you. O! he is the courageous captain of compliments. He
fights as you sing pr*ck-song, keeps time, distance, and proportion; rests me his minim rest, one,
two, and the third in your bosom; the very butcher of a silk button, a duellist, a duellist; a
gentleman of the very first house, of the first and second cause. Ah! the immortal passado! the
punto reverso! the hay!
O He is calling Romeo unmanly.
O He showing his deep respect for Tybalt's fighting ability.
O He is teaching Benvolio how to sword-fight.
O He is criticizing Tybalt's lack of authenticity, despite his knowledge of custom.
