Here are all of the speeches where misadventured shows up across the corpus:

Romeo and Juliet


Two households , both alike in dignity
( In fair Verona , where we lay our scene ) ,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny ,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean .
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life ;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife .
The fearful passage of their death-marked love
And the continuance of their parents’ rage ,
Which , but their children’s end , naught could remove ,
Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage ;
The which , if you with patient ears attend ,
What here shall miss , our toil shall strive to mend .
