Romeo and Juliet Quiz

Romeo says to Tybalt: “I do protest I never injured thee,/ But love thee better than thou canst devise,/ Till thou shalt know the reason of my love,/ And so, good Capulet – which name I tender/ As dearly as mine own – be satisfied.”What is the meaning of what he says? Considering the sequence of events in the play, how is this an example of dramatic irony? Romeo means that now he is married to Juliet, Tybalt is a part of his family and so he loves him and cannot bring himself to fight Tybalt.
