Shakespeare Reflected

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

you have burned brighter and longer surely

than even fair Apollo could have known.

Perhaps a turning of the moon would make a better companion?

Its phrases delightful and its reflections mysterious?

This beloved Satellite's is nothing alongside thee,

For it can only reflect the glory of another 

whilst from you beauty was born.

O great bard, would that you were here

to bring honour again to the written word,

and to teach that immortality comes

from the dipping of a pen.
