1. "My bosom's lord sits lightly in his throne..."
Bosom = chest, meaning the heart. I'd have to see the rest of the passage to be accurate, but I think the heart's lord = love, and sits lightly would mean it's not a burden.
2. "There is thy gold-worse poison to men's souls..." (Romeo the the apothecary scene 1 line 80)
Wealth is said to corrupt men's souls, therefore gold = poison to the soul.
3. 'Thou detestable maw.../Gorged with the dearest morsel of earth..." (Romeo opening Juliet's tomb scene 3 line 45-46)
Maw = mouth, meaning here the opening to the tomb. The 'dearest morsel' is Juliet. Picture the tomb doorway as a mouth and Juliet's body stuck in its teeth like it has just eaten her. He's cursing the tomb for taking Juliet away from him.

What happened to cliff notes = those great little booklets that put everything in plain language and all you had to do was reword it and hand it in.... My teacher was all about the Merchant of Venice.....and back then I used cliff notes although I can still qoute "The quality of mercy is not spared - it droppeth as the gentle rain of heaven upon the earth beneath...." That was basic and to the point.....
l. Unburdened chest; bearing it to his Juliet...
2. Worst evil is inside men - their wicked thoughts; the poison I am taking is a mere nothing in comparison. Gold standard (<;
3. Contemptable glutton = Death stealing the dearest thing that lived.
How would you feel?

If he hadn't stayed up very last evening, he does no longer be drained that is a mixed conditional - the first 1/2 is 0.33 conditional and refers back to the previous IF+previous appropriate the 2d 1/2 is 2d conditional and refers back to the modern IF + may + INFINITIVE So If he hadn't stayed up very last evening, [yet he did stay wakeful] he does no longer be drained [yet he's drained, cos he stayed up]
