From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life, Whose misadventure piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And continuance of their parent’s 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.
