The Young Lovers From Verona

Their death could have been prevented if rivarly, misunderstanding and hostility had not been there... had Verona not become a battle ground for the gentry, but unlikely comedy that makes us burst into laughter, tragedy puts some sense into our foolish heads shunning this truth: they didn't have to die uselessly in the prime of their youth! O insensible people, mourn the young lovers from Verona with sympathy to realize that love is unstoppable as the coming of dawn; we can try to kill it with jealousy, envy, anger or even murder... but what the outcome will be? Heartbreak and regret over a disastrous event such as the one Shakespeare wrote in his teary, dramatic play to warn us that it shouldn't be disapproved with a frown. Peacefully sleep, o young lovers from Verona! Even this saddened poet will not forget... how courageous and desperate you were to end your vibrant lives with that insane thought!
