According to my edition of the play, Juliet does not say lines 137-138. Clearly your edition must have different line numbers. Juliet's lines which surround it, and especially those which follow, deal with the themes of love and death, and love and family strife found in the Prologue. But they do not really echo it in the sense of using similar or the same phrases.

"Go ask his name--if he be married, my grave is like to be my wedding bed." It's important to know that "married" is pronounced "marry-yed" so it rhymes with "wedding bed". These two lines rhyme, like the prologue, although the lines around them do not.

In terms of meaning or symbolism, this line does not echo the Prologue at all. Juliet is saying that if she can't marry Romeo, she won't marry anyone and will die unmarried. There is nothing in the Prologue on this topic or any symbolism about graves or beds. There is a similarity to the Prologue to Act II which begins with the words, "Now old desire doth in his deathbed lie" meaning that Romeo's love for Rosaline is dead. The use of beds as a symbol both of death and of passion is apparent in both lines. But of course, the Prologue to Act 2 comes after Juliet's line in Act 1 Scene 5, so it is the Prologue which is echoing back to Juliet's line, not the other way round.

Juliet says an awful lot of things in Act 3 Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet. First of all, she's talking to Romeo in bed after their wedding night. Then she's talking to her mother who is laying plans to have Romeo murdered and also reveals that they want Juliet to marry Paris on Thursday. Then she's talking to her father who is beating her up for not wanting to marry Paris. Finally, she asks the Nurse's advice, but is so unimpressed by what she gets that she abandons the Nurse as a confidante. A lot of stuff goes on, and Juliet is in the middle of all of it.

An iamb is a metrical pattern in poetry that consists of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable (da-DUM). In a single prologue, the repetition of iambs will depend on the length and structure of the prologue itself. There is no fixed number of times an iamb must repeat in a prologue.

How many lines are in the prologue of shakespeare's romeo and Juliet?

Of course an easy way of determining this would be to read it - it is available free of charge at the library or under books.google.com Having said that: Shakespeare wrote in iambic (2) pentameter (5) which means that virtually all of the lines in his plays, unless he wanted the scene to be odd or other worldly, have 10 (ten) syllables. This is also true of the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.
