Best Answer

5 Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night,

6 That runaways' eyes may wink and Romeo

7 Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen.

8 Lovers can see to do their amorous rites

9 By their own beauties; or, if love be blind,

10 It best agrees with night. Come, civil night,

11 Thou sober-suited matron, all in black,

12 And learn me how to lose a winning match,

13 Play'd for a pair of stainless maidenhoods.

Romeo and Juliet - Act 3, Scene 2. Juliet alone is anxiously waiting for her nurse to return. She is longing for nightfall so that Romeo can come to her without risk of being discovered. She reasons that they will have no need of light because their own beauty will provide all the light they need 'to do their amorous rites' - which means their rituals of love, or lovemaking. She imagines them losing their virginity in the dark, relying just on their sense of touch and lit only by the glow of the heat they create together.
