had to do for english class.
real version:
CHORUS: 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 here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend
My ugly version:
Two families, both in the same high status
In the setting of Verona where the story takes place
From an old war that passed suddenly returns
Where everybody's involved to kill everyone.
From the son and the daughter of the two enemies.
A pair of ill-destined lovers took their life away
Because of the challenges they had to go through
Their death buried the war between their parents.
The horror that their death and love gave to them,
And the unstoppable war between the families
Could only be stopped with their child's death.
During this two hours play
You will need to listen patiently
and the part you missed, we could retell and explain.
