Chorus
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-crossed lovers take their lives,
Whose misadventure piteous overthrows
Doth with their deaths bury their parents' strife
The fearful passage of their death-marked love
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's 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.
