This line is spoken when Juliet is bidding farewell to Romeo after their secret wedding night. She longs for Romeo to stay a little longer but realises he must leave. The term "tassel-gentle" refers to a young male falcon, and Juliet's wish for a falconer's voice foreshadows the tragic events to come.
