Poetic English
 

Since long I had the strong desireTo master th' language of Shakespeare -Too wortly is the task fulfill'd:Misunderstanding is my yield.It is, alas, too hard a LotTo follow English of my thought.I shoun't speak 't save for th' rhyme,For th' modern English is a crime.Now hereby the author triethPoetic stay and shall be blithe,His leave to takenn' having now,To get replies as such enow.
