Prince Escalus promised to execute anyone who disturbs the peace in Verona again, in response to the feud between the Capulets and Montagues. He also threatened that any further violence would result in severe punishment.
The name of the Prince of Verona is Escalus. He is not really a "lord" but he is the main royal person. Paris is a count, which might make him a "lord" also.
He says they have to lay off the fighting or he'll have them put to death.
In Shakespeare's play, "Romeo and Juliet," Prince Escalus delivers a message of grief and reconciliation to the Capulets and Montagues after the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet. He emphasizes the destructive consequences of their feud and urges the families to put aside their differences and make amends.
The prince is the symbol of authority in Verona in the play. In his first apperance (breaking up the Montagues and Capulets) he should be sound: harsh, angry, and annyoed. Obviously this isn't the first time it's happened. While at the tomb make him sound sympathetic, at other times raise his voice. This is probably the best way to be the IN role for the prince.
He tells them that if they fight, their lives will pay the cost. Meaning the people fighting, will die.
The main clause is "It is not right to make a promise."
We see him in Act 1 Scene 1 trying to lay down the law about brawling and fighting in the streets. But quite frankly it doesn't seem to make much impression on the brawlers and fighters. Capulet gives the impression that he has no interest in continuing the feud and we can guess that Montague feels the same, but they can't take the active steps necessary to break the habit. The Prince's harangues seem to have little effect.

You make a threat.
It is considered immoral to break a promise, unless that promise was immoral, in which case it was immoral to make the promise not to break it. A moral should trump a promise. That is the relationship.
In "Bridge to Terabithia," Jess makes May Belle promise to take care of their dog, Prince Terrien, if anything were to happen to him. This promise highlights Jess's protective nature towards his younger sister and underscores the bond they share. It also reflects Jess's growing sense of responsibility and the weight of his fears regarding loss and the challenges of growing up.
