out of the book romeo and juliet..

Capulet: But montague is bound as well as I, In penalty alike; and tis not hard, i think, for men so old as we to keep the peace.

please explain what he's talking about
 
i think he's talking about the penalty set for both the families, that they are both bound by the rule made by Prince that the penalty for the next fight between the two families will be death, and that it shouldn't be too hard for two old men to keep the peace.
 
Capulet and Montague have been threatened with the same penalties if they disturb the peace, and Capulet is now trying to convince himself that it shouldn't be too hard for two old men to keep peace with each other.

Hope this helps you.
