This is a line from Act I Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. The line is spoken by Escalus, the Prince of Verona. He is addressing Montague and Capulet whose servants have started a brawl in the marketplace.
Prince Escalus said this line in Act 1 Scene 1 after the two household, Capulet, and Montague, servant start a fight against each other
It means, if the Capulets and Montagues fight again in public, they will face execution, or in Romeo's case, banishment (Romeo and Juliet, Act 1).
Prince Eschylus say that in Romeo & Juliet.
The Prince of Verona, otherwise known as Escalus.
''If ever you disturb our streets again Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace'' basically, if the feud between the Montagues and Capulets disturbs the streets of Verona again, the participants will be executed.
This poem is about two lovers and distance is keeping them away from each other and makes them suffer, so they wait till the moment where they could finally be together again, and when they are, they are both going to live their whole lives happily Sultan!!
A person who lives in a particular place is called a resident.
Yes, lives is the plural for for the noun life.
The possessive form of lives, which is the plural of life, is formed by adding an apostrophe at the end: lives'.For example, "Their lives' contributions are memorialized in this mural."
"If ever you disturb our streets again, / You lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."
"If ever you disturb our streets again, / Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."
Im sure its the Prince (Chief of Police) in Romeo and Juliet "If ever you disturb these streets again, you lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace" Or something along those lines! My name is Karen, Im not a scammer, just loved this book and film!
He says "If ever you disturb our streets again Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace." Act 1 Scene 1 lines 102-3
''If ever you disturb our streets again Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace'' basically, if the feud between the Montagues and Capulets disturbs the streets of Verona again, the participants will be executed.
he issues and ultimatum in which whomever starts the fight between Capulets and Montagues will have their life taken away from them basicly.
The feuding families in Romeo and Juliet are the Capulets and the Montagues.
In Act 1 Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare, a brawl breaks out for the third time between the Montagues and Capulets. The fighting is only stopped by the arrival of the Prince. He says, "If ever you disturb our streets again, your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."
This line is from the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. It is spoken by Prince Escalus in Act 1, Scene 1, when he is addressing the feuding families of Montague and Capulet in Verona. The Prince is warning them that further violence will result in severe consequences.
He puts the death penalty on fighting in the streets between the Montagues and Capulets. AKA the next person between the Capulets and Montagues who is caught fighting in the streets will be sentenced to death.
The Prince's likely response would be to enforce harsher consequences to maintain order, potentially banishing or executing members of both families if they continue to disrupt the peace. He may also implement stricter laws to deter further violence and ensure the safety of the citizens of Verona.
"Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,Have thrice disturbed the quiet of our streetsAnd made Verona's ancient citizensCast by their grave, beseeming ornamentsTo wield old partisans, in hands as old,Cank'red with peace, to part your cank'red hate.If ever you disturb our streets againYour lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace."Well. There have been "three civil brawls" apparently, which have disturbed the quiet of the streets. In order to stop it, the "ancient citizens" (old people) of Verona have had to wield weapons ("old partisans"). The Prince makes a sort of pun on the word "cankered", which means a plant which is diseased and shrivelled up because there is a worm or bug inside it eating it. The prince says the hands of the old citizens are shriveled up like that, but that the hate inside the Montagues and Capulets is like a canker worm, eating them from the inside. What happens if they do it again? Their lives shall pay. In other words, disturb our streets again and you die.
