Why is it ironic that Romeo compares Juliet to "a snowy dove trooping with cows" when he first sees her at the party? What previous statement in Scene 2 does this line recall?

It is ironic that Romeo compares Juliet to “a snowy dove trooping with crows” when he first sees her at the party because he came to the Masquerade for Rosaline, but the girl that he distinguished easily was Juliet. The previous statement in Scene 2 that this line recalls is when Benevoli stated, “Compare her face with some that I shall show, And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.” That quote was about Rosaline and it ended up being true. Romeo saw Juliet and immediately fell in love with her and found her much more beautiful.
