Translation and understanding of Romeo’s speech
ROMEO:
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 despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.
But He, that hath the steerage of my course,
Direct my sail! On, lusty gentlemen.
Translation:
Romeo feels that something is going to go wrong at the party, but he trusts that this is what is meant to happen to him. He has faith that god has set this up for him so will not change what is meant for him.
But then at the end of the play he does not have faith in him anymore so takes his life away from the power of god.
