In the quote "Then love-devouring death do what he dare / It is enough I may but call her mine" in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is saying that the only thing that is important to him is that he can call Juliet his. No matter what hard times come their way, even death, he is alright as long as he has her.

Who says love devouring death?

These lines are said by Romeo to the Friar in this scene, which immediately precedes the secret marriage of the two lovers. What is important to realise about this quote is the way that Romeo openly seems to challenge the forces of fate, destiny and death to do what they dare in the face of his love for Juliet.

Who Says Do thou but close our hands with holy words then love devouring death do what he dare?

Romeo adds that he is ready to face the greatest sorrow of all: "Do thou but close our hands with holy words, / Then love-devouring death do what he dare; / It is enough I may but call her mine" (2.6. 6-8).
