What does the following speech mean?

hold, then. go home, be merry, give consent
to marry paris. wednesday is to-morrow.
to-morrow night look that thou lie alone;
let not the nurse lie with thee in thy chamber.
take thou this vial, being then in bed,
and this distilled liquor drink thou off;
when presently through all thy veins shall run
a cold and drowsy humour; for no pulse
shall keep his native progress, but surcease;
no warmth, no breath, shall testify thou liv'st;
the roses in thy lips and cheeks shall fade
to paly ashes, thy eyes' windows fall
like death when he shuts up the day of life;
each part, depriv'd of supple government,
shall, stiff and stark and cold, appear like death;
and in this borrowed likeness of shrunk death
thou shalt continue two-and-forty hours,
and then awake as from a pleasant sleep.
now, when the bridegroom in the morning comes
to rouse thee from thy bed, there art thou dead
then, as the manner of our country is,
in thy best robes uncovered on the bier
thou shalt be borne to that same ancient vault
where all the kindred of the capulets lie.
in the mean time, against thou shalt awake,
shall romeo by my letters know our drift;
and hither shall he come; and he and i
will watch thy waking, and that very night
shall romeo bear thee hence to mantua.
and this shall free thee from this present shame,
if no inconstant toy nor womanish fear
abate thy valour in the acting it.

{asap} select the correct text in the passage. which line in this excerpt from jonathan swift's "a modest proposal" uses the rhetorical device of irony? and secondly, there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, adding those who are beggars by profession, to the bulk of farmers, cottagers and labourers, with their wives and children, who are beggars in effect; i desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food at a year old, in the manner i prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes, as they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of intailing the like, or greater miseries, upon their breed for ever. i profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing. lines highlighted: - there being a round million of creatures in humane figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock, would leave them in debt two million of pounds sterling, - they have since gone through, by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor cloaths to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather - i have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, - i have no children, by which i can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.
