In Act 1 Scene 5 (when they meet briefly for the first time) Romeo describes Juliet as teaching the torches to burn bright, 'as a rich jewel', "Beauty too rich for use', as a 'snowy dove trooping with crows' and a 'Holy shrine'.

The exact words he uses are "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear--beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows as yonder lady o'er her fellows shows."
