Q

“wast the prettiest babe that e’er I nursed”

A

1 - superlative “prettiest” intensifies the Nurse’s loving affection for Juliet - elevates her beauty from all other infants she fared for - encapsulates Nurse’s maternal like nature - contrasts the love of the Nurse with the cold detachment of her parents

2 - personal pronoun “I” creates a possessive tone, emotional claim over Juliet - she is not just a servant but someone who emotionally nurtures Juliet
