Capulet gives us the best example: "God's bread!" Or, in other words the host of the sacrament, a pretty strong expletive. Elizabethan cursing was generally religious in nature, and a lot of them start with the word "God's". Sometimes the god bit got left off leaving only the "S" so that "God's blood" became "sblood" and "God's wounds" became "swounds" or even "zounds".

Capulet also uses the expression "God-i-godden" (not very strong, sort of like saying "Hello!?"), and Mercutio uses "Zounds".
