I choose "The Rose"

Explanation:

In this vividly evocative metaphor, Lady Capulet uses the metaphor of a book to highlight the depth and beauty of Paris’ character as well as to emphasize the countless benefits that can be derived by a marital union with him. In an attempt to persuade her daughter, Juliet, to marry Paris, Lady Capulet maintains that the privileges of marrying Paris are many. He is like a flawlessly written book only in need of a cover. By comparing Paris to a book, Lady Capulet is implying that only Juliet can serve to complement Paris’ unique personality that exudes love.

This heartfelt and sentimental metaphorical expression is delivered by Romeo and compares Romeo’s trembling lips to two devoted pilgrims eager to kiss their holy object of worship. Hence, this graphic comparison implies that Romeo perceives Juliet as a demi-goddess and regards himself as her blind follower – a follower whose lips are desperate to plant a passionately reverential kiss on their holy shrine.
