Overall, which phrase best describes the tone of this passage?
ROMEO
O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
As a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear-
Beauty too rich for use, for Earth too dear.
So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows
As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand
And, touching hers, make blessèd my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight,
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.

Answer:Teach' here is a bit like 'teaching someone a lesson' or 'schooling' someone: it's got an air of competition to it. Romeo is saying that the (poor, dim) torches could learn a thing or two from Juliet about how to shine brightly. The rest of Romeo's speech is an elaboration of this idea.
