Analysis of Juliet's Monologue

"Juliet: (1) Come night, come loving, black-browed night, give me my Romeo.

(3) Oh, I have bought the mansion of a love but not possessed it. And were it be sold, not yet enjoyed. (4)So tedious is this day! (5) As is the night before some festival, to an impatient child that hath new robes and may not wear them."
