Romeo is obsessively in love with Rosanine. She isn't that into him so he is forlorn and depressed. 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.
