Romeo and Juliet
Oh, harken now, fair gentlefolk, I prithee lend an ear,
For I shall weave a tale of love that many hearts will hear.
The tale of Romeo and Juliet, of passion, pain, and strife,
Of families sworn against each other, bound by mortal life.
Young Romeo, with his heart so pure, didst see fair Juliet,
And in an instant knew his fate, for he could not forget.
Her beauty, grace, and gentle ways didst captivate his soul,
A love so strong it could not die, a love beyond control.
But fate didst have a different plan, and turmoil didst ensue,
For their families, bitter foes, didst forbid their love so true.
In secret did they meet at night, in gardens filled with blooms,
And there they pledged their endless love, amidst the lovers' tombs.
But alas, their love was doomed, for darkness didst creep near,
Misunderstandings, hatred, and death, didst fill every ear.
And in the end, their love didst die, a tragic tale, so true,
Of love that conquered all, but could not conquer family feud.
So raise your glasses, dear good folk, and toast to love so bold,
For Romeo and Juliet, their story shall be told.
Of love that pierced the darkest night, of passion unbridled,
A tale of two young lovers, whose love will never be stifled.
Farewell my gentle folk, I bid thee all adieu,
But remember this one thing, that love will see you through.
And though life may be cruel, and fate may play its part,
The power of love will conquer all, and forever reign in your heart.
