Explain O that you were a glove upon her hand That you might touch that cheek?
PBBEAR
The quote is from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and actually goes, "Would that I were a glove upon that hand, that I might touch that cheek!"
In the scene, Romeo is secretly watching Juliet, who is on a balcony above him. He speaks (to the audience) about her great beauty (birds singing, eyes that would light up heaven, etc.), then comments about how she is touching her cheek with her hand.
His statement is an expression of his wish that he could be a glove, so that (as a glove) he could be the one touching her cheek (a cheek whose beauty, or "brightness," could shame the stars...).

This line from Shakespeare's Sonnet 67 expresses the desire to be so intimately close to the beloved that one becomes like a glove on their hand, able to touch their cheek with tenderness and affection. It reflects a yearning for deep connection and physical closeness with the beloved.
