At what point does a Shakespeare say
I feel it´s time I write a play
What subject shall it be today
A tragedy I´ve done

Lovers twain have been united
Audiences are delighted
No doubt I shall soon be knighted
Royal fame I´ve won

The Queen has come to every show
And, flattering, she feigns to know
A couplet from a verse, also
A refrain from a rhyme

But the ones I aim to pleaseth
Most of all upon my kneeseth
Are the folk who cough and sneezeth
Through my prose sublime
