9. Две равно уважаемых семьи
В Вероне, где встречают нас событья,
Ведут междоусобные бои
И не хотят унять кровопролитья.
Друг друга любят дети главарей,
Но им судьба подстраивает козни,
И гибель их у гробовых дверей
Кладёт конец непримиримой розни.
10. Когда ж, о горе! – стал он недвижим,
Она, бледней, чем саван, прошептала:
«Позволь, Господь, и мне идти за ним;
Нет просьб иных, и я прошу так мало –
Позволь быть там, где тот, кто мной
любим!»
И тут же скорбь ей сердце разорвала».
