Lady Capulet is lamenting that there is no other woman in Verona as beautiful as Paris' intended bride, Juliet. She is praising Juliet's beauty and comparing her to the loveliest flower of the summer.
Lady Capulet believes Paris will make a good husband for Juliet because he is wealthy, well connected, and has a good reputation in Verona. Additionally, she believes Paris will provide stability and security for Juliet's future.
In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet is depicted as an only child without any brothers or sisters.
Juliet is not yet 14 - "she hath not seen the change of fourteen years" and Juliet was born when lady Capulet was Juliet's age, which makes her around 27-28

Perhaps you are thinking of this line: The earth hath swallow'd all my hopes but she, She is the hopeful lady of my earth: What he means is that Juliet is his only child and heir; his "hopes" are his hopes of having decendants to follow him. Capulet has not lost hope in any general sense.
Summer doesn't last long. It's got a short-term lease; it's over in a day.
In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," Lord Capulet is portrayed as being middle-aged, which would typically place him in his forties or fifties. However, his exact age is not stated in the play.
William Shakespeare wrote this. The line appears in sonnet 18.
Capulet doesn't have a sister that we are told about. We know that Juliet doesn't have one. We do know that Capulet has a cousin who is about as old as he is, and an uncle who must be old indeed, and that Rosaline is his neice, which means she must be daughter to a brother or sister, unless she, like Tybalt, is related to Lady Capulet's family.
He doesn't refer to Juliet as Venus at all. What he does say is: "Immoderately she weeps for Tybalt's death, And therefore have I little talk'd of love; For Venus smiles not in a house of tears." He means Venus would not smile ON HIM in a house of tears; in other words, the goddess of love would not favor his pursuit of Juliet right at the moment. He means that he knew he could not properly court Juliet, and win her heart as her father had instructed him to do, because she was too grief-stricken (supposedly over Tybalt's death), and wouldn't have appreciated hearing this guy she barely knew talking about love and marriage.
Summer is far too short. The beauty of summer is too short and will not last long, until the next year it comes. But in this poem, it shows us the imperfectness of summer, but later in the 3ed quatrain, tells that "thee" will not behold those faults..
