Enter Chorus.
Entra o Coro.
CHORUS.
CORO.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
Duas famílias, ambas iguais em dignidade,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
Na bela Verona, onde situamos nossa cena,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
De antiga rivalidade irrompe nova discórdia,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
Onde sangue civil torna as mãos civis impuras.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
Das fatais entranhas desses dois inimigos
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Um par de amantes malfadados tira sua vida;
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Cujas desventuradas e lastimosas quedas
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
Enterram com sua morte a discórdia dos pais.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
A terrível trajetória de seu amor marcado pela morte,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
E a persistência da fúria de seus pais,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Que nada poderia apagar, senão o fim de seus filhos,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
É agora o percurso de duas horas em nosso palco;
The which, if you with patient ears attend,
O qual, se com ouvidos pacientes vós atenderdes,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
O que aqui faltar, nosso esforço tentará corrigir.
[_Exit.
[_Sai.
