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.
