Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Sydney , where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil fueds makes civil lives unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers destroy their life;
Whose misadventured 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' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
[an AU where Michael and Luke rake the places of Romeo and Juliet and fight for love]
