benvolio: here were the servants of your adversary
and yours close fighting ere i did approach:
i drew to part them; in the instant came
the fiery tybalt, with his sword prepar'd,
which, as he breath'd defiance to my ears,
he swung about his head, and cut the winds,
who, nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn.
while we were interchanging thrusts and blows,
came more and more, and fought on part and part,
till the prince came, who parted either part.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet" tells the story of two unfortunate lovers who had to overcome their feuding families to maintain their love. And due to that lasting hatred for each other, their families became their stumbling block leading to their deaths.

The given speech of Benvolio is from Act I scene i of the play where he explained to those assembled the cause and start of the fight between the two households. He narrates how he came upon the servants of the Capulets and the Montagues fighting in the streets. And his attempts to disperse them off was only met with more fight from Tybalt, which further escalates the fight. Only when the prince arrived did the fight break up. According to him, the fight was equally started by the servants of bot households, including Tybalt.
