Two households, both alike in dignity
(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death 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 your patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend
