In this speech, Romeo is describing not what he thinks of love in general but, instead, the way unrequited love feels to him. He loves—or believes he loves—Rosaline, but Rosaline does not love him back. Not only this, but she has sworn to remain chaste, and she proclaims she will never be with him. This causes Romeo to feel a little desperate, and he describes the pain of loving someone who does not love him back. This is why he uses so many oxymorons: his language seems to be as conflicted as his emotions. He loves her—a good feeling—but he is also in pain because she does not return his affection—a bad feeling. Using oxymorons like "sick health," Romeo describes the conflict he feels. Unrequited love is like "sick health" because health is a good thing, like loving, but sickness is a bad thing, like one's love not being returned.
