What is an example of synesthesia from Romeo and Juliet?

In Romeo and Juliet, an example of synesthesia occurs when Romeo describes Juliet as "the brightness of [his] life [...] that shine[s] within the tabernacle of [his] breast." In this instance, Romeo associates the visual experience of brightness with the tactile sensation of shining and the spatial awareness of a tabernacle within his chest.
