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-crossed lovers take their life,
Whose misadventured piteous o'erthrows
Do with their deaths 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, nought 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.
