The lark sings in the morning and so is a symbol of morning. The nightingale sings at night and is therefore a symbol of night. The lovers wish that it were still night so they did not have to part, so the nightingale represents wishful thinking. It actually is morning, however, so the lark represents cold reality.
The idea expressed in Juliet's "that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" is that the name we give things cannot change the reality. Waking after their wedding night (In Act III Scene v), they hear a bird singing. Is it a lark, a morning bird, or a nightingale, a night bird? If it is the lark, it is time for romeo to get up and go to Mantua. They try to pretend that it is the nightingale, but Juliet says "it is the lark that sings so out of tune" Unfortunately, a lark by any other name is still a lark.
Act 3, scene 5JULIET Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:It was the nightingale, and not the lark,That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree:Believe me, love, it was the nightingaleJuliet thinks, or merely tries to convince Romeo, that she heard the nightingale. If she had heard the nightingale, it would still be night time and Romeo wouldn't have to leave, but because it was the lark and that sounds during the day (early morning) that means Romeo has to leave.
I suppose you are asking about the conversation which Romeo and Juliet have in Act 3, Scene 5 after they wake up after their first night together. This is hardly "at first" after their wedding which takes place in the last scene of Act 2, about a day earlier. At the very beginning of this scene Juliet says, "It was the nightingale and not the lark which pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear."
In Act 3 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet, the line "Wilt thou be gone? It is not yet near day: It was the nightingale, and not the lark," is part of a dialogue between Romeo and Juliet. It is not an aside, as the characters are speaking directly to each other, nor is it a soliloquy since other characters are present on stage.
Their first reactions to each other are caused by emotion because they are instantly in love without knowing anything about each other.
Lark Voorhies' nationality is African American. Lark played the character of Lisa on the popular teen show "Saved by The Bell". Lark continues to act and lives near the Los Angeles area.
