| Chorus Prologue.1-14 | 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 foesA pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;Whose misadventured piteous overthrowsDo with their death bury their parents’ strife.The fearful passage of their death-marked love,And the continuance of their parents’ rage,Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove,Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;The which if you with patient ears attend,What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. |
| ROMEO 1.4.113-118 | I fear, too early, for my mind misgivesSome consequence yet hanging in the starsShall bitterly begin his fearful dateWith this night’s revels, and expire the termOf a despisèd life closed in my breastBy some vile forfeit of untimely death. |

| JULIET 3.5.60-64 | O Fortune, Fortune! All men call thee fickle.If thou art fickle, what dost thou with himThat is renowned for faith? Be fickle, Fortune.For then I hope thou wilt not keep him long,But send him back. |
