    SEQUENCING I
    THE PROLOGUE

    TASK:
    The lines from the Prologue have all been mixed up! Can you put them in the right order? (Hint – there is a
    rhyme scheme…it’s a b a b – except for the last two lines, which rhyme with each other!).

    1 From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,


    Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

    2 Whose misadventur’d piteous overthrows


    Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.

    3 The which if you with patient ears attend,


    What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

    4 Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,


    Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;

    5 Two households, both alike in dignity,


    In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

    6 From forth the fatal loins of these two foes


    A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;

    7 The fearful passage of their death-mark’d love,


    And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
