And hear the sentence of your [moved] prince.—

Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,

By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,

Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,

And made Verona's [ancient] citizens

Cast by their [grave beseeming] ornaments,

To wield old partisans, in hands as old,

[Canker'd with peace,] to part your canker'd hate.

If ever you disturb our streets again,

Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.—
