'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,Nor arm, nor face, nor any other partBelonging to a man. O, be some other name!What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet;So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,Retain that dear perfection which he owesWithout that title. Romeo, doff thy name,And for that name which is no part of theeTake all myself. I have to agree. I researched this context and many others, and wherefore means 'why'.

Absolutely nothing. You were doing fine until the word "naught". "Thou comest" is the singular form of "you come" which is now somewhat obsolete. Reversing the order into "comest thou" makes it a question, as "Are you coming" is the question form of "You are coming". "Hither" means "toward here" or "toward me", although the direction is already implied by the use of the word "come". Thus "Comest thou hither" means the same as "Are you coming here" which is all well and good. But the word "naught" means "nothing", so "Comest thou hither naught" means "Are you coming here nothing." which means . . . naught.
