I'll offer you one sonnet from this play, but I encourage you to look for groups of fourteen lines that have a rhyme scheme to them. The following sonnet was shared by the chorus in the prologue of Act II.

Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie,
And young affection gapes to be his heir;
That fair for which love groan’d for and would die,
With tender Juliet match’d, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is belov’d and loves again,
Alike bewitched by the charm of looks,
But to his foe suppos’d he must complain,
And she steal love’s sweet bait from fearful hooks:
Being held a foe, he may not have access
To breathe such vows as lovers us’d to swear;
And she as much in love, her means much less
To meet her new-beloved any where:
But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,
Tempering extremity with extreme sweet.

I will not do your homework for ya, buddy boy.

As the other answers suggested, if you don't know how to approach an assignment go see your teacher.

If you want to work on this on your own, then get a *good* edition of the play, one with explanatory notes (you might try, e.g., the Bantam edition, the Arden edition, or the New Folger edition), and either read the play looking at the notes, or just go through the notes, to find the sonnet.

If you don't learn to get help from teachers and work on problems on your own, you're wasting your time in school. Do you really want to do that?

check out these sites or just google.

Read the Prologue, the first 14 lines of the play.

Now look at the party scene when Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time (Act 1, Scene 5). Read lines 93-106.

What do you find?

the prologue at the beginning of act one
and the start of act two
