In the passage, Romeo's tone is best described as disbelieving. He expresses uncertainty about the reality of the moment he is experiencing, suggesting that it feels too wonderful to be true and may be a dream. This sense of disbelief indicates that he is struggling to accept the joy he feels, which aligns with the "disbelieving" tone.
