Mercutio alludes to the story of King Cophetua and the beggar maid. This medieval story goes that the King, Cophetua, couldn't find a woman he liked until he met a beggar-maid. He offered to make her queen, which she naturally accepted, and they lived happily ever after. Shakespeare alludes to it in Henry IV Part II and in Love's Labour's Lost, Don Armado compares himself to Cophetua when wooing Jaquenetta.

Which of shakespheare's plays contains the phrase a rose by another name would smell as sweet?
Romeo and Juliet. When Juliet, who is a Capulet, finds out Romeo is a Montague, she is torn because of her feelings toward him, and the feelings her family has towards his family, or in this case, his name. She is saying the feelings she has shouldn't change just because she learned his last name. Everyone knows what a rose is and how it smells, but what if we called it something we know to be ugly and capable of hurting you, like a cactus? It would still be pretty and smell wonderful, making a name just that....a name.
