shakespearean sonnet A B C D E F G 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; Whose misadventured piteous OVERTHROWS Doth 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 hear shall miss, our toil shall strive to MEND.

From the households of two enemy families, two fate-driven young lovers end their lives. Their sad, hopeless adventures end in death, which ends their parents’ fighting. For the next two hours, you will watch the story of their death-marked love and their parents’ angry feud, which would never have ended if the lovers didn’t die. Listen now with patient ears; we’re going to tell you the story.

act 1 - scene 5 party A B C D E F G If I profane with my unworthliest hand This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much Which mannerly devotion shows in this For saints has hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake. Then move not while my prayer’s effect I take.
