ROMEO AND JULIET
THE PROLOGUE
Enter Chorus.
Chor. 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-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventur'd
piteous overthrows Doth with their death bury their parents' strife. The
fearful passage of their death-mark'd 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 here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. [Exit.]

being moved. Greg. But thou art not quickly moved to strike. Samp. A dog
of the house of Montague moves me. Greg. To move is to stir, and to be
valiant is to stand. Therefore, if thou art moved, thou runn'st away. Samp.
A dog of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any
man or maid of Montague's. Greg. That shows thee a weak slave; for the
weakest goes to the wall. Samp. 'Tis true; and therefore women, being the
weaker vessels, are ever thrust to the wall. Therefore I will push
Montague's men from the wall and thrust his maids to the wall. Greg. The
quarrel is between our masters and us their men. Samp. 'Tis all one. I will
show myself a tyrant. When I have fought with the men, I will be cruel
with the maids- I will cut off their heads. Greg. The heads of the maids?
Samp. Ay, the heads of the
