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-cross'd] lovers take their life,

Whose [misadventur'd] [piteous] [overthrows]

[Doth] with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parents' rage,
