Romeo & Juliet 1.1.

1-14
Romeo & Juliet 1.1.1-4

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.
Romeo & Juliet 1.1.5-8

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes


A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents strife.
Romeo & Juliet 1.1.9-14

The fearful passage of their death-marked love


And the continuance of their parents rage,
Which, but their childrens end, naught 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.
