This is one of the most difficult lines in the prologue. Let's review the context:
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
This text is based on Q2 text of 1599. Here, the word "overthrows" means reverses in fortune, misfortunes if you like. This is the key word, so if you leave out the words "misadventured piteous" you get "a pair of star-crossed lovers . . . whose . . . overthrows (misfortunes) do, with their death, bury their parents' strife." The sense is that it is the misfortunes of the lovers, culminating in their deaths, which end the feud between their parents. These misfortunes are described as "misadventured" (unfortunate) and "piteous" (evoking pity).
The Q1 text of 1597 reads a little differently and more like the question:
"Whose misadventures, piteous overthrows"
If this were the correct reading, it would be misadventures, otherwise described as "piteous overthrows", which are the subject of the sentence. Unfortunately the next two lines of the Q1 prologue are badly garbled and incoherent.
