"Why, then is my pump well flowered"

Wordplay

Act 2,

Scene 4

Line 56

An explanation of the wordplay on pink and flower in myShakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Act 2, Scene 4.

Romeo

Why, then is my pump well flowered.

Romeo’s shoes, his pumps, are decorated with small perforations called pinking. And since pink means flower, one could say that his pumps are well flowered.
