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 misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents’ strife
William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet was probably first performed on this date (unless it wasn’t).
I don’t know, I wasn’t there, were you?
