Winding the watch of your wit
By it you did strike
Not withdrawing from thy purpose
Which you resolved to effect
Certainly not afraid of greatness
The foremost dramatist of your time
Enduring fame is most sublime
The immortality of beauty and love
The inevitable decay of time
Sensuality's heaven and hell
Such themes resonate well
Can be related to with ease
And vast audiences certainly please
Stratford's son charme
beloved husband of Anne
Susanna and the faithful father Judith
Heartache and did you know
When the twin brother of Judith
I have to go unexpectedly
In the stream and the storm
Situations
How acquired temperance
Enter your passion smoothness
As you have asked your heart
know what
Considerable discretion
Must show
Realizing the danger of debt
That blurs the edge of thehusbandry
You discouraged dress fancy and gaudy
Yet lest the apprehensive disdain
Elegant apparel does sufficiently proclaim
A man's posturing and societal position
Without fully disclosing
His financial condition
Have more than thou showest
Speak less than thou knowest
William thy ways are most modest
Your bodily appetites
Harnessed by your will
Yet you did not recoil
From articulating the thrill
Of sensuality's pleasure
Equally so its pain
As the Globe theatre and London
Royally embraced your name
You know who and what you were
We know what you became
Our remedies
Oft do lie in ourselves alone
Hence to thine own self be true
Because truth ultimately
Begins with you
Upon being true to thyself
It is easier to so be
With everybody else
Though it takes inward strength
Like that of a giant
Outwardly It is provocative
On the contrary
It is an expression
Nice and quiet
He comes from your authenticity
From whom
Their legacy famous
Shakespeare your words
They left the land
Smooth as silk
Enduring as the day
Not
Make your services
Make prank
We are your audience
Recognizing celebrate
How can we go now
To cultivate our garden
Look at our ownconscience
To uproot the weeds
Of jealousy and fear
Overthrow the tendency
Toward utter cruelty
Remembering the dangerous consequences
Of unchecked fury
To forgive, forget
Keep our feet
From Satan's net
Refrain from excessive foolery
For no legacy is so rich
As is honesty
Praising what is lost
Makes the remembrance near
Therefore we shall not forget
Such a man as Shakespeare.
