Please READ the following: Romeo and Juliet: Prologue
[Enter] CHORUS.
1 Two households, both alike
in dignity,
2 In fair Verona, where we
lay our scene,
3 From ancient grudge break
to new mutiny,
4 Where civil blood makes
civil hands unclean.
5 From forth the fatal loins
of these two foes
6 A pair of star-cross'd
lovers take their life;
7 Whose misadventured piteous
overthrows
8 Do with their death bury
their parents' strife.
9 The fearful passage of
their death-mark'd love,
10 And the continuance of
their parents' rage,
11 Which, but their children's
end, nought could remove,
12 Is now the two hours'
traffic of our stage;
13 The which if you with
patient ears attend,
14 What here shall miss, our
toil shall strive to mend.
[Exit.]
