"Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace!" - Romeo (5.3.112-113)
The suicidal Romeo is with his "dead" Juliet for the last time. What is meant in this line is that he is saying that this will be he last with Juliet and is telling his arms and eyes to embrace her once more. Almost directly after saying this line, Romeo drinks the poison he got from the Apothecary and dies. This line leads into more dramatic irony becasue Romeo kills himself becasue Juliet is "dead" but she is not so its ironic.
