THE PROLOGUE Enter Chorus . 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 . 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 . [ Exit . ] ACT I SCENE I . A public place . Enter Sampson and Gregory armed with swords and bucklers . SAMPSON . Gregory , on my word , we’ll not carry coals . GREGORY . No , for then we should be colliers . SAMPSON . I mean , if we be in choler , we’ll draw . GREGORY . Ay , while you live , draw your neck out o ’ the collar . SAMPSON . I strike quickly , being moved . GREGORY . But thou art not quickly moved to strike . SAMPSON . A dog of the house of Montague moves me . GREGORY . To move is to stir ; and to be valiant is to stand : therefore , if thou art moved , thou runn’st away . SAMPSON . A dog of that house shall move me to stand . I will take the wall of any man or maid of Montague’s . GREGORY . That shows thee a weak slave , for the weakest goes to the wall . SAMPSON . 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 . GREGORY . The quarrel is between our masters and us their men . SAMPSON . ’ Tis all one , I will show myself a tyrant : when I have fought with the men I will be civil with the maids , I will cut off their heads . GREGORY . The heads of the maids ? SAMPSON . Ay , the heads of the maids , or their maidenheads ; take it in what sense thou wilt . GREGORY . They must take it in sense that feel it . SAMPSON . Me they shall feel while I am able to stand : and ’ tis known I am a pretty piece of flesh . GREGORY . ’ Tis well thou art not fish ; if thou hadst , thou hadst been poor John . Draw thy tool ; here comes of the house of Montagues . Enter Abram and Balthasar . SAMPSON . My naked weapon is out : quarrel , I will back thee . GREGORY . How ? Turn thy back and run ? SAMPSON . Fear me not . GREGORY . No , marry ; I fear thee ! SAMPSON . Let us take the law of our sides ; let them begin . GREGORY . I will frown as I pass by , and let them take it as they list . SAMPSON . Nay , as they dare . I will bite my thumb at them , which is disgrace to them if they bear it . ABRAM . Do you bite your thumb at us , sir ? SAMPSON . I do bite my thumb , sir .
