Like a fire goes out, so will R and J love - Love is transient
'torches' = stars - The fact J outshines stars shows the true power of his love for her. Stars as navigation - Romeo is being guided by J - A1S4 'Direct my sail' - Love of R and J is 'written in the stars' - Prologue 'star crossed lovers'
-
'O dear account, my life is my foe's debt'
