Romeo And Juliet
A translation of Romeo and Juliet’s Prologue
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 misadventured piteous overthrows
Do 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, nought 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.
Two households are similar in some ways,
In Verona, where the story is set,
Where a grudge breaks out to breaking the law,
Where the public’s blood makes the public’s hands unclean
Out, the fatal offspring of these two enemies,
A pair of lovers take their lives,
Their unfortunate deaths put an end to their parents’ feud,
And the continuance of their parents’ rage,
Which their children’s suicide could not remove,
This passage is the next two hours of our stage,
If your patient eyes choose to attend,
If you have missed anything, we will make up for it on stage.

Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.
This platform has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at Mount Aspiring College. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.
Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.
Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Department of English main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.
If you have any questions for me, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. I am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.
Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning.
