Two households, both alike in dignityyn In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Misere civil blood makes civil hands unclean From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, naught could remove Is now the two hours traffic of our stage;" The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend." 1 3.
