Romeo and Juliet sonnet
Act three
Two families of Verona doth eye
Each other with wick'd hate's fire aglow.
The law states who disrupts the streets will die.
So exiles the lover Romeo.
A betrothéd young miss to the county,
Wavers her eye and then loves another,
Against the star's most reveréd bounty.
Still they are wed by their friend, a brother.
Romeo, now wed to his Juliet,
Saw one die, so gave death to number two
Juliet, now, is forced to marry yet
Her betrothed, the county, without ado.
To the Friar the distraught girl must go,
For without the man's help, Death will she know.
Disclaimer: no, I don't own R&J.
A/N: in case it doesn't show up, the first betrothed is three syllables, and revered is also three syllables. Wicked is one syllable. Yes, I know that normally these words are all two syllables, but to work with the rules of sonnets, they have been changed. Shakespeare inverted words, so I can, too. Also, "a brother" refers to the Friar. Friars are brothers…monks are…I think even Priests can be…but usually they are called father…not brother…oh well, hoped you liked it. =)
Oh, and it's put in the story at the beginning of act three, b/c act one and two have sonnets before them, but act three didn't so I made one up for it.
