The notion of "copyright" didn't exist until probably at the earliest the Licensing of the Press Act of 1662, so Romeo and Juliet was not copyrighted.

Even if it had been, it would certainly be out of copyright now; Disney wasn't around to lobby Congress to keep extending copyright protection back then.

The basis for US copyright law was established in the Constitution. For this reason Article 1 section 8 clause 8 has become known as the "copyright clause".

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."

It was originally proposed on August 18th, 1787 and ratified for inclusion on September 17th, 1787
