CAPULET
But Montague is bound as well as I,
In penalty alike; and 'tis not hard, I think,
For men so old as we to keep the peace.

PARIS
Of honourable reckoning are you both;
And pity 'tis you lived at odds so long.
But now, my lord, what say you to my suit?

CAPULET
But saying o'er what I have said before:
My child is yet a stranger in the world;
She hath not seen the change of fourteen years,
Let two more summers wither in their pride,
Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

PARIS
Younger than she are happy mothers made.

Explanation:

One of the more obvious differences is the language, its hard for us to understand since the way we write and talk is so different. Instead of saying "younger than she are happy mothers made", we would simply say people have been married younger and been happy. When reading "She hath not seen the change of fourteen years, let two more summers wither in their pride, ere we may think her ripe to be a bride" we need to remember that people back then didn't leave very long so they often married at a very young age. Without looking into it, getting married is a shocker now but when you die at thirty you need to marry early.
