Shakespeare Quote - "Star Crossed Lovers"
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-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
