i need help rewriting this poem in modern language Thou detestable maw, thou womb of death, Gorged with the dearest morsel of the earth, Thus I enforce thy rotten jaws to open, And, in despite, I'll cram thee with more food! This is that banished haughty Montague, That murdered my love's cousin, with which grief, It is supposèd, the fair creature died, And here is come to do some villainous shame To the dead bodies. I will apprehend him.

For Solving this Question, I would like to ask you that, do you have the detailed conception of : rewriting this poem in modern language

First off, it isn't a poem. It's just dialogue - it looks like poetry because of Shakespeare's writing. It roughly translates to this: 1st stanza (Spoken by Romeo) : "You horrible mouth of death! You’ve eaten up the dearest creature on Earth. Now I’m going to force open your rotten jaws and make you eat another body." (I think this happens when he opens Juliet's grave.) 2nd stanza (Spoken by Paris) : "It’s that arrogant Montague, the one who’s been banished. He’s the one who murdered my love’s cousin Tybalt. They think she died with grief for that cousin. This guy has come here to commit awful crimes against the dead bodies. I’ll catch him." Let me repeat; THIS IS NOT POETRY, it's Shakespearean writing.
