In truth fair, fair Montague, I am too fond;
And therefore thou mayst think my 'hviour light:
But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true
Than those that have more cunning to be strange.
I should have been more strange, I must confess,
But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ' Ware,
My true love's passion: therefore pardon me...

I should have been more unfriendly, I must confess,
But you overheard, before I was aware of you,
My true love’s passion. Therefore, pardon me,
Juliet is trying to tell Romeo that she is no strumpet. She tends to be on the friendly side but she is a woman/girl of morals. This is basically a play of words between the courting teenagers. She pretends to keep him at arms length to show her womanly discretion.
