2nd quotation of Fate by Romeo

ROMEO
I fear, too early: for my mind misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night’s revels and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.

Just before Romeo heads over to the Capulet ball, where he falls in love with and meets (in that order) Juliet, he tells us that he has a funny felling – he fears that something “hanging in the stars” (something destined to happen) will be set in motion that night. Romeo’s premonition seems to be in keeping with what the Chorus tells us in the Prologue
