''Here's much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love, O loving hate,
O anything of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness, serious vanity,
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms,
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,''
This speech by Romeo references both the brawl in act one and his frustration over his unrequited love for Rosaline.
