Mercutio is saying that this is my sword and this is that which will cause you to dance around to avoid the edge of his blade. This shows his impatience because even though Tybalt was looking to find Romeo and was saying that he did not want to fight Tybalt, Mercutio was still trying to fight him and at the end of the fight he ended up dead. Therefore, when it comes to impatience, Romeo and Mercutio should be the first characters you look at in this play. In the end, Romeo and Mercutio are similar and different in many ways.
