"Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair South Korea, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutinity,

Where civil bloods make civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life,

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows,

Do with their death bury their parent's strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parent's rage,

Wich, but their children's end, nought could remove,

Is now the lot-chapters fanfic of this page.

The wich of you with patient eyes read,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to fix."
