Act 1, Prologue
PROLOGUE
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
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

Is it still just Katie and me who have it learned? That would be cool. Unlikely, though.
As of now, 5th and 7th period are tied with three completed.
and me for 6th! (:
Hey Mr. Walker, i almost have it all memorize. I have all eleven lines memorize. Still have three more to go!
random lol. Hmm I really love iambic pantameter. Its my favorite type of poetry :)
Nope i will be the next person to memorize, Yeah! I found the best way to memorize is to say it out loud and write it down from word to word mentally. I wrote the prologue on thirty note book paper yesterday, but i can't believe i miss line 13 " The which if you with patient ears attend" I added "if you want with patient ears." "Perseverance" is the key just keep trying and you will master it. Hopefully, everyone tries to tackle down the prologue that way the entire Honors class from period 1-8 finish the challenge. I will be in awe. Lol
