Answer:

Romeo means that fortune, or fate, has made a fool of him, or mistreated him.

Step-by-step explanation:

Romeo says this line in Act III, scene I, after he has killed Tybalt in battle. He says this because Tybalt is in the same house as his wife, Juliet. Instead of celebreating his new relationship, he now fears being put to death for murder.
