I fear too early, for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night’s revels, and expire the term Of a despisèd life closed in my breast By some vile forfeit of untimely death. These lines foreshadow Romeo's meeting and marriage to Juliet. They also foreshadow the fact that whatever is put into motion will be the cause of his death.
