of a scene.

three stanzas of four lines each and ending with
a rhyming couplet.

the Prologue to Romeo and Juliet follows that of
the sonnet.

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-crossd
lovers take their life Whose misadventurd
piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their
parents strife. The fearful passage of their
death-markd love, And the continuance of their
parents rage, Which, but their childrens end,
naught could remove, Is now the two hours
traffick of our stage The which if you with
patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our
toil shall strive to mend.
