Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair
Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient
grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood
makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal
loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd
lovers take their life Whole misadventured
piteous overthrows Do with their death bury
their parents' strife. The fearful passage of
their death-mark'd 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.
