Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Feywild where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
From forth the fatal rolls of our heroes
A pair of star-crossed lovers stake their life
This fairy adventure’s romantic overtones do
With resolution, bury their parents’ strife
This exciting adventure of their rebellion-mark’d love
And the continuance of their parents’ rage
Which, but their children’s departure none could remove
Is now the three hour traffic of our table
The which of you with patient dice attend
What 1’s you roll, your 20’s will strive to mend
