What does Juliet mean when she says gallop apace you fiery-footed steeds Toward phoebus' lodging?

Juliet is alluding to the classical image of the sun as a chariot, driven by Phoebus, and pulled by horses with feet of fire. She wants the chariot (the sun) to go faster towards Phoebus' lodging (the west, where the sun sets), or in other words, she wants the day to be over. And why? So she can spend the night with Romeo.

Could the nurse tell Juliet's parents about romeo?
Well, yes she could. But she didn't. It is interesting to think about why that was, especially if you are the actress who is playing the nurse. A feeling of protectiveness toward Juliet might be part of it. At the start, the nurse got caught up in Juliet's excitement and sexual anticipation. The nurse is a rather earthy-minded person. Later, having arranged for Juliet to lose her virginity, the nurse would be reluctant to disclose her part in the affair to Juliet's parents.
What are your thoughts about Lord Capulet's behavior toward Juliet?
It's a little inconsistent, isn't it? People talk about how rapidly Romeo and Juliet's relationship develops, but look at Capulet: On Sunday, he says, "Let two more summers wither in their pride ere we can think her ripe to be a bride." and "my will to her consent is but a part." but on Tuesday he says "An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend; an you be not, hang, beg, starve, die in the streets". He totally changes his attitude.
