Note how similar this passage is to Orlando's in As You Like It (2.3.4). He then begs Juliet to be Diana's maid no longer for the virginal uniform (vestal livery) she wears as a follower of Diana is sickly green in color, and not to remove it (i.e., to remain a virgin) would be foolish. Romeo begins by saying that the envious moon, i.e., Diana, goddess of the moon and patron of virgins, is jealous of her servant's (Juliet's) radiance. In this passage Romeo uses an intricate conceit to express a simple desire: to take Juliet's virginity. That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
