If you are asking what it means, which I think you are, Juliet's nanny's husband (confusing I know) says this to Juliet when she is a child and the nanny recounts the story when remembering her now dead husband. The reference is a sexual one; he is saying that because she is young, she is foolish and naive and so she falls on her face. However, when she is older she will fall on her back i.e. into bed with whomever she takes as a husband

Hope this helps: whoever knew Shakespeare was so dirty?! :P
