she'll not be hit With Cupid's arrow; she hath Dian's wit; And, in strong proof of chastity well arm'd, From love's weak childish bow she lives unharm'd
Allusion; Romeo makes reference to Rosaline being unable to bear children because she has Dian's wit who is also the Goddess of chastity. He before mentions she will not be hit by Cupid's arrow which means she is can't fall in love as well.
Towards him I made, but he was ware of me 145And stole into the covert of the wood: I, measuring his affections by my own, That most are busied when they're most alone, Pursued my humour not pursuing his, And gladly shunn'd who gladly fled from me.
Benvolio recounts noticing Romeo underneath the sycamore tree which prompts Romeo to make a run for it in to the nearby woods. He further mentions that following his own inclination, he didn't chase after him and was happy to leave Romeo alone as he fled from him.

I have lost myself; I am not here; 225This is not Romeo, he's some other where.
Romeo's body may be present with Benvolio, but his mind is some place else. It seems he may be struggling to stay present, lost in his own thoughts/feelings.
