The lines in this excerpt from "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson that describe actions taken by the Lady of Shallot to defy the curse are:
With a steady stony glance—
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Beholding all his own mischance,
Mute, with a glassy countenance—
She look'd down to Camelot.
It was the closing of the day:
She loos'd the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
This is Friar Lawrence speaking to Romeo. The line could be rephrased as
How many tears did you shed for the love of Rosaline and how many tears did it take to do that.
Romeo was really one love sick puppy over Rosaline and now he's even more gone on Juliet. Father Lawrence is just in awe of that transformation. Washed is a personification. You should go to this speech and read the rest of it.
Friar Lawrence is really giving Romeo a dressing down and in so doing, he is making a comment about the nature of men in general whose fidelity he thinks little of. It's a wonderful speech. Makes us humble to be called down that way.
