Mercutio is tuly a passionate indevidual. He mixes love and romance with the metaphysical frequently invoking treams. Here he talks about Romeo as a lover having a spirit that can be conjured in the name of love and passion.
Nay, I’ll conjure too! Romeo! Humours, madman, passion, lover! Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh! Speak but one rhyme, and I am satisfied. Cry but “Ay me!” Pronounce but “love” and “dove.” Speak to my gossip Venus one fair word, One nickname for her purblind son and heir, Act 2 sc 1
