Answer: In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
Two households both alike in dignity.
But ancient grudge breaks to new mutiny,
And civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the loins of these two foes,
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows,
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The Prince, who seeks to end the family feud,
Proclaims a punishment for their demise.
But Romeo, in his love-struck mood,
Refuses to accept the Prince's surmise.
He seeks out Juliet, the Capulet fair,
And in her beauty, finds a love so rare.
They secretly wed, with hopes so high,
But fate has other plans, and they both die.
