These lines are spoken by Friar Laurence in Act 1, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet. He is defending Romeo to Mercutio, who is poking fun at him. Friar Laurence describes Romeo as a gentleman who is well-respected in Verona for his virtuous and well-behaved nature.
Mercutio said this line in Act 2, Scene 4 of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." He is referring to Romeo's reputation in Verona as a virtuous and well-governed youth.
Nobody ever suggests to Capulet that Juliet should marry Romeo. They assume that because Romeo and Juliet's families are both enemies for a reason they no longer can remember, it would be an insult to the family if Juliet's father let her marry Romeo. But Capulet might have agreed to the marriage if he had been asked. He says, "Romeo, is it? . . .'A bears him like a portly gentleman, and, to say truth, Verona brags of him to be a virtuous and well-governed youth."
The nurse in "Romeo and Juliet" praises Romeo for being handsome, virtuous, and a well-mannered gentleman. She also recognizes his eloquence and passion as he expresses his love for Juliet.
He does not threaten anything. He never hears about her desire to marry Romeo. Who knows? if she had said, "Father, I wish to marry the only son of rich Montague." he might have said, "Young Romeo is it? He bears him like a portly gentleman, and, to say truth, Verona brags of him to be a virtuous and well-governed youth. Montague would be bound as well as I, and it would not be hard, I think, for men as old as we to keep the peace." In fact, Capulet says exactly those things, but doesn't say them to Juliet.
In Shakespeare's play, the nurse tells Romeo who Juliet is. Her lines are: Marry, bachelor, Her mother is the lady of the house, And a good lady, and a wise and virtuous. I nursed her daughter that you talked withal. I tell you he that can lay hold of her Shall have the chinks.
