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.

Rebellious subjects, enemies to peace You men,
you beasts Throw your mistempered weapons to the
groundThree civil brawls, bred of airy word by
thee, old Capulet, and Montague, have thrice
disturbed the quiet of our streetsIf ever you
disturb the quiet of our streets again, your
lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.

I dreamt a dream tonight.
16
O, She doth teach the torches to burn bright! It
seems she hangs upon the cheek of night As a rich
jewel in an Ethiops ear.

Good pilgrim, you do wrong my hand too much,
which mannerly devotion shows in this For saints
have hands that pilgrims hands do touch, and
palm to palm is holy palmers kiss.
19
My Lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender Kiss.
20
O, Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny
thy father and refuse thy name. Whats in a
name? That which we call a rose By any other word
would smell as sweet.

Turn thee, Benvolio look upon thy
death. Peace? I hate the word, as I hate hell,
all Montagues, and thee!
23
A plague a both your houses! A plague a both
your houses! They have made worms meat of me.

The End
Or Is It?
25
O happy dagger! This is
thy sheath there rust, and
let me die.
26
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things
Some shall be pardoned, and some punished For
never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet
and her Romeo.
