Wherefore art thou?

That doesn't mean "where are you" it means "why are you". That's why she goes on to say "would a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?" because she's venting about how, if he didn't have the family name he has, their love wouldn't be forbidden.

Everyone asks wherefore art thou and whence comest thou, but no one asks how dost thou fare 😔
