Romeo is commenting on the traditional portrait of Cupid, god of love, who is depicted with a blindfold over his eyes to symbolize that "love is blind". His "view is muffled" mean that his eyes are covered. Since they are covered, he is without eyes. But then, muses Romeo, it is unfortunate that even if he cannot see, he still sees well enough to be able to strike the "will" or desire. Cupid finds pathways to stimulate the desire even though he can't see, unfortunately.
