ACT II: our toil shall strive to mend

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 life. 
Whose 
MISADVENTURED 
PITEOUS 
OVERTHROWS
do with their DEATH
bury their parents strive. 

The FEARFUL passage 
of their DEATH marked LOVE
and the continuance of their parents RAGE, 
which, but their children's DEATH 
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. 




ACT II
