Romeo and Juliet Prologue
Enter Chorus. |
Chor. 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-cross’d lovers take their life; |
Whose misadventur’d piteous overthrows |
Do with their death bury their parents’ strife. |
The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love, |
And the continuance of their parents’ rage, |
Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove, |
Is now the two hours’ traffick of our stage; |
The which if you with patient ears attend, |
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. [Exit. |
