By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,

And made Verona's ancient citizens
Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments,
To wield old partisans in hands as old,
Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate.
Three times now, fights caused by silly words
Between you, old Capulet, and Montague
Have disturbed the peace of our streets.
You've made our elderly citizens throw down their dignified clothes
And pick up old weapons—rusted from peace—
Just to break up your rotten hatred.
