Romeo laments the fight and talks about Beauty and violence being at odds. Romeo says Rosaline wants to remain celebate and that her beauty is thus wasted.

She hath, and in that sparing makes huge waste, For beauty, starved with her severity, Cuts beauty off from all posterity. She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair, To merit bliss by making me despair.

Benvolio suggests that Romeo check out other girls but Romeo claims this will only make him hunger more for her.

Show me a mistress that is passing fair; What doth her beauty serve but as a note Where I may read who passed that passing fair?
