Could someone please help me with this quote I read the rest of act 2 today and I was wondering what this quote means:

Question

Mercutio: " Alas poor Romeo, he is already dead: stabbed with a white wench's black eye; run through the ear with a love song; the very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bowboy's butt shaft; and is he a man to encounter Tybalt?

Go to the play you want and then to the act and scene you need. You'll find original Shakespeare on the left and modern-day English on the right.
