Good ol' Shakespearan Fun
Excerpt from Romeo and Juliet~
O, she doth teach the t0orches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shines a snow white swan trooping with crows,
As this fair lady o'er her fellow shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her, her place of stand.
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
I never saw true beauty till this night.
O, she doth teach the t0orches to burn bright!
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
So shines a snow white swan trooping with crows,
As this fair lady o'er her fellow shows.
The measure done, I'll watch her, her place of stand.
And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
I never saw true beauty till this night.
William Shakespeare
