                From vision to thine memory
Of what lacks in sole appearance
Sought through wisom
Bought by pound
But what lacks there-of the soul
Cannot be found
Thence, but of thine own heart

Doth only know these mysteries
Can keepeth for awhile
When break of day dissolves
Hence-forth that light shall fade
As candles flicker out
Not quite grows dark of shade
But only dims thy stem

Ere, 'twas the fall of victory
Befell the last of dawn
'Till she leadeth to waters edge
Before thy temptest faire
Coiled in twine and weed
Then only didst stare
Her face so full of scorn

Man but tries to daunt
Meaningless angles of doubt
Come closer to thee ear
Eternal love doth reign
Forever once 'tis found
Caressed in burning flame
Dwelleth unto us

Use of old english adds to any poem makes it more classic shakespearian

Brill poem

  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow
