Chapter 26 opening poem

Enter the speaker. The story takes place in the famous city of Verona, There are two giant families of equal rank, Old grievances stir up new strife, Blood stains the white hands of the townspeople. It was fate that made these two enemies, gave birth to a pair of unhappy lovers, Their sad and desolate perdition, Reconciled their estranged relatives. This life and death love, And the rift between the two parents, Killed a pair of passionate sons and daughters, It became the play it is today. After explaining these few key outlines, Please be patient and listen carefully. (Down.)
