Read this excerpt, in which Romeo speaks of his love for Rosaline. Then, answer the questions.

[Romeo:] O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Mis-shapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?

–Romeo and Juliet,
William Shakespeare
