The Balcony Scene in "Romeo and Juliet" (Act 2 Scene 2)

Romeo

"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. . . . The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars As daylight doth a lamp; her eye in heaven Would through the airy region stream so bright That birds would sing and think it were not night"

Romeo says this in after his first meeting with Juliet when he is hiding in the Capulets garden, spying on Juliet who is leaning out of a window. Romeo compares her to the sun to show even though this scene takes place at night, her beauty is so bright it transforms darkness into daylight. He says the moon is "sick and pale with grief" at the fact the sun, Juliet, is far more brighter and beautiful  He claims she is brighter than any star  and says she could outshine them like daylight does a lamp ~ her eyes shine so bright the birds would sing thinking it was daytime  This use of cosmic imagery conveys to the audience that Romeo sees Juliet as something to be admired, something extraordinary and out-of-this-world

Juliet

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name, Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

Juliet says this while leaning out of the window, unaware that Romeo is in the orchid beneath her she asks why Romeo must be Romeo—why he must be a Montague, the son of her family’s greatest enemy (wherefore = why) Unaware of his presence, she asks him to refuse his family for her  She adds, however, that if he will not, she will deny her family in order to be with him if he merely tells her that he loves her. She thinks of Romeo as an individual and even he wasn't a "Montague" she would love him for him and not his name
