    3b Prologue to Romeo and Juliet


    Two households [subject of "break"], both alike {in dignity}, {In fair Verona,} where we lay our [scene,] (DO) {From ancient grudge} break {to new mutiny,} Where civil blood makes civil [hands] (DO) unclean. {From forth the fatal loins} {of these two foes} A pair {of star-crossd lovers} take their [life;] (DO) Whole misadventured piteous overthrows [subject of "do bury"] Do {with their death} bury their parents [strife.] (DO) The fearful passage {of their death-markd love,} And the [continuance] (DO to could remove) {of their parents rage,} Which [subject of 'is'], {but* their childrens end,} nought could remove, Is now the two hours [traffic] (PN) {of our stage;} The which if you {with patient ears} attend, What** here shall miss [subject is "you"], our toil shall strive to mend.
    * "but" here means "except" so it is a preposition. ** "what" = "whatever" "What here shall miss" means, "whatever you do not understand in the words of the play."

    Rhymes dignity scene foes life love rage attend mutiny unclean overthrows strife remove* stage mend

    *love / remove do not rhyme in modern English, but since pronunciation of words changes over time, they may have rhymed in Shakespeare's time.
