To some who are near my heart,
Yet I number him in the song
During the Easter Riots, there were 66 killed and 16 executed Irish insurrectionists, and some of them migh have been friends and loved ones for the speaker. After these events, he is still coping with the tragedy and wondering whether the rebellion was worth it. Still, despite all the violence he feels compelled to acknowledge these revolutionaries in his poem.

The obvious function of the Prologue as introduction to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet<span> can obscure its deeper, more important function. The Prologue does not merely set the scene of </span>Romeo and Juliet<span>, it tells the audience exactly what is going to happen in the play. The Prologue refers to an ill-fated couple with its use of the word “star-crossed,” which means, literally, against the stars. Stars were thought to control people’s destinies. But the Prologue itself </span>creates<span> this sense of fate by providing the audience with the knowledge that Romeo and Juliet will die even before the play has begun. The audience therefore watches the play with the expectation that it must fulfill the terms set in the Prologue. The structure of the play itself is the fate from which Romeo and Juliet cannot escape.</span>
