Romeo is talking about what all has happened before Act V. Like how he has killed Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. How he has just killed Paris, Juliet's husband to be. How Mercuito is dead. How seeing Juliet in this dark place makes it seem lighter and happier. He is saying how he is going to kill himself, and is asking Juliet's forgiveness becasue he killed Tybalt and now Paris. Then he says I will drink this potion and die so that I may be with you. He drinks the poison, kisses her, and dies.

∙ 14y agoO serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!
Dove-feather'd raven! wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despised substance of divinest show!
Just opposite to what thou justly seem'st,
A damned saint, an honourable villain!
O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell,
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In moral paradise of such sweet flesh?
Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? O that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!

∙ 12y agoThe difficulty in answering this question is that there are different publication with different numbers. However, that part of the story goes down something like this: the Nurse is sent to deliver a message, but instead decides to test Romeo's honesty. When she arrives she is greeted by a few rude jokes from Mercutio and Romeo. After getting Romeo alone, she inquires him about his love for Juliet. He protests and she happily interprets the gesture as a proposal. The two make wedding plans, then go their separate ways. Romeo also provides a rendezvous for the nurse to collect a few objects.

∙ 14y ago"Alas, poor Romeo, he is already dead! stabbed with a white wench's black eye; run through the ear with a love song; the very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bow-boy's butt-shaft; and is he a man to encounter Tybalt?"
Benvolio has told Mercutio, first, that Romeo did not come home the night before, and second, that Tybalt has sent a letter to Romeo's house. Mercutio guesses that the letter is a challenge, because he knows that Tybalt is a quarrelsome and mean-tempered guy. He is right, as Tybalt is cheesed off that Lord Capulet would not allow him to challenge Romeo at the feast, and has taken action about it immediately the next day. Mercutio also guesses that Romeo did not come home because he is in love with Rosaline. In this he is half right, as Romeo is in love all right, but with Juliet.
So, in these lines, he imagines Romeo as incapacitated. And although he uses terms which suggest that Romeo has been killed in a sword fight ("stabbed", "run through the ear", "his heart cleft") he really means he is incapacitated by love. The wonderfully alliterative "blind bow-boy's butt-shaft" is Cupid's arrow. He carefully matches the wound caused by the love song with a wound to the ear.
So, in his usual effusive style, Mercutio is saying "Romeo is incapacitated by love, so how can he answer Tybalt's challenge?" There is a dramatic irony in that Romeo is far more incapacitated by love than Mercutio imagines, since Tybalt is now his cousin by marriage.

Juliet's death fits this category since the audience knows that she's really in a drug-induced coma. One could use Romeo's lines in Act V as he talks about how beautiful Juliet is, even in 'death', for evidence. Since she's supposed to be dead, she shouldn't have red cheeks or lips, and Romeo should listen to the things that he's saying. If he did, he might realize that she couldn't be dead and still be so fair.
