"Forbear" means "refrain from doing" (You can find this by looking it up in any dictionary) Thus when Romeo says in Act III Scene I "Draw, Benvolio; beat down their weapons. Gentlemen, for shame, forbear this outrage!", the "outrage" he is talking about is fighting in the streets which, as he points out immediately afterwards, has been forbidden by the Prince. "Forbear this outrage" means "Refrain from fighting" or even more simply "Don't fight."
