Act 2 Scene 1 Prologue Paraphrase:

Romeo's old love has died, and a new love eagerly takes its place. Compared to tender Juliet, Rosaline is not so fair. Romeo now loves, and is loved, both lovers bewitched by each other's good looks. But because they're enemies, they have to be careful. Romeo will not be able to exchange vows like lovers do; and although Juliet loves him very much, they cannot meet when they wish to. Their love will give them power and time, and time gives them a change to meet, and the difficulties will be mixed with the pleasure.
