I'm trying to paraphrase a passage for my shakespeare class, and i keep getting stuck at this one section. It's from act 3, scene 2 of romeo and juliet.
You sober-suited matron, all in black,
And teach me how to lose a winning match,
Played for a pair of stainless maidens.
Conceal my virgin blood, fluttering in my cheeks,
With your black mantle, until unknown love, grown bold,
Thinks that true love is an act of simple modesty
I kind of know what it means, but since in need to more word for word put it in easier terms, I'm stuck. I would ask someone at home for help but they don't know/understand Shakespeare. Please help me. Thanks
