Romeo says, "With love's light wings did I o'er perch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out. And what love can do, that dares love attempt; therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me." It's easy enough to understand that Romeo says that he got over the walls with love's help, but the line "And what love can do, that dares love attempt" even though composed entirely of ordinary English words, is a bit difficult to understand unless you reverse the words "dares" and "love". As "And what love can do, that love dares attempt." it means that love not only gives him the power but the courage to succeed, and with that courage he does not fear the guards.

Why is romeo unafraid of juliets kinsmen?

Romeo is unafraid of Juliet's kinsmen because he is deeply in love with Juliet and feels a strong sense of invincibility due to that love. His passionate emotions lead him to believe that their bond transcends any familial conflict. Additionally, after their secret marriage, he feels a sense of loyalty and commitment to Juliet that outweighs his fear of her family's wrath. This blind devotion ultimately drives his actions throughout the play.
