Romeo says that "it is the east and Juliet is the sun."
Since the sun rises in the east, we can assume that Romeo is making a comparison between
the rising sun and his rising affection for Juliet. He is comparing her to something
bright and burning just like his feelings for her.
Romeo continues
his comparison when he says that if her eyes were in the heavens with the stars, they
would "shame those stars as daylight doth a lamp." We know this comparison continues
the comparison because he says that if her eyes were in heaven, birds would begin to
sing thinking it was morning instead of night. Thus continuing the comparison of Juliet
to a rising sun.
