Which lines in this excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet create dramatic irony?

ROMEO:
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death's pale flag is not advanced there.
Tybalt, liest thou there in thy bloody sheet?
O, what more favour can I do to thee,
Than with that hand that cut thy youth in twain
To sunder his that was thine enemy?
Forgive me, cousin! Ah, dear Juliet,
Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believe
That unsubstantial death is amorous,
And that the lean abhorred monster keeps
Thee here in dark to be his paramour?
For fear of that, I still will stay with thee;
And never from this palace of dim night
Depart again: here, here will I remain
With worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!
Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide!
Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on
The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!
Here's to my love!

The lines in the above excerpt from act V of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet which creates dramatic irony are:

"Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath,  

Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:  

Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet  

Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,  

And death's pale flag is not advanced there."

An example of dramatic irony in Act V, Scene 3 of “Romeo and Juliet” is when Romeo thought Juliet was dead,  because of which he poisoned himself, but the audience knew she was alive. 

After knowing that Juliet had died Romeo wanted to enter the tomb in which Juliet laid dead desperately. When he discovers Paris he asks him to get away from the tomb, but he didn't leave the tomb. Paris and Romeo indulge themselves in a fight in which Paris is killed by Romeo. He takes Paris into Juliet's tomb and then drinks the poison. When Juliet awakes, she finds Romeo dead after which she too stabs herself with a dagger. This event was an example of Dramatic irony as the audience knew very well that Juliet is feigning her death but Romeo finds it to be the reality.

Answer: Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:  

Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet  

Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,  

And death's pale flag is not advanced there.  

Explanation: Since Juliet is not dead Romeo says her lips are red and she is not pale so that is dramatically ironic because he doesn't know that she is alive and he will kill himself afterwards.
