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-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought 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.
Friar Laurence tells us the story of what happened again at the end in his speech to Lord and Lady Capulet, Lord Montague and The Prince.
The summary is here - The Prince demands to know what happened, and Friar Lawrence relates the entire story.
I married Romeo and Juliet on the day Tybalt was killed so Romeo was banished from the city. Juliet cried for Romeo, not Tybalt but you made her marry Paris to stop the crying. She came to me with a wild look in her eye and begged me to save her from the second marriage otherwise she would kill herself so I gave her a sleeping potion which made her appear dead. I wrote to Romeo to tell him to come and get her from the tomb when the potion would have worn off. But last night the letter came back to me and Romeo hadn't received it. I came to the tomb by myself when she woke up so I could take her to my cell till Romeo could come there. But when I arrived Paris and Romeo were dead. I told her to come with me but she wouldn't and a noise scared me away. So it seems she 'did violence' on herself.
