ROMEO: **  He jests at scars that never felt a wound. [JULIET //appears above at a window.//] But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?  It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.  **Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon **,  Who is already sick and pale with grief,  That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Be not her maid, since she is envious; <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #76923c; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent3; mso-themeshade: 191;">Her vestal livery is but sick and green **<span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">It is my lady, O, it is my love! <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">O, that she knew she were! <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">She speaks yet she says nothing; what of that?

The purpose of this was to show that Juliet is the innocence of the sun, as the forbearance of their relationship is compared to the guilt hidden by the darkness of the moon. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> **<span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #76923c; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent3; mso-themeshade: 191;">“Her vestal livery is but sick and green” ** <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #76923c; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent3; mso-themeshade: 191;"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Juliet’s “vestal livery”, or her pure identity, is being personified as “sick and green”. This is done to show that there is something abnormal pertaining to her chastity because her relationship with Romeo was a secret and this was seen as betrayal to her family.
