Summary

[Sophia Petrillo voice] Picture it: Florence, 1300.

Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona Firenze, where we lay our scene / from ancient grudge break to new mutiny…

Or, Aziraphale and Crowley discuss history, poetry, translation, and a sonnet-writing lawyer who made the mistake of thinking people would be reasonable. (And very carefully do not discuss certain other things. A touch of pre-S2 angst.)

Bonus material:

What may be the first English translation of a little-known 14th-century Italian sonnet!

A complete MLA-formatted bibliography! Including a citation of a Tumblr post!
