The SCENE, in the beginning of the fifth g, is in Mantua, during all the rest of the play, in and near Verona.

PRO L

OGUE.

WO boufholds, both alike in dignity,

TW

In fair Verona, (where we lay our fcene), 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 far-cross'd lovers take their life; Whofe mifadventur'd piteous overthrows

Do, with their death, bury their parents' ftrife.
The fearful paffage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parent's rage.

The plot of this play is taken from an Italian novel of Bandelle.
