This is a line Romeo speaks in Act 5, Scene 1 of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. During this scene Romeo receives the news that Juliet is dead. He buys poison of an apothecary and says that he intends to return to Verona and join Juliet in death.
When he exchanges gold for the poison, he tells the apothecary that money is more evil and poisonous to men than poison itself.
Romeo considers wealth, or gold, as worse than the poison he wants to purchase and consume. This is because wealth has taken more lives than poison. In this statement he means that the gold he is paying the apothecary has caused more men to become murderous and caused more damage in the world than the poison that he is buying.
