Know Thy Shakespeare

If thou remember’st not the slightest folly
That ever love did make thee run into,
Thou has not loved -
My pride fell with my fortunes -
Beauty provoketh fools sooner than gold-
I had rather have a fool to make me
merry than experience to make me sad –
Oh! how bitter a thing it is to look into
Happiness through another man’s eyes-
Sweet are the use if adversity,
Which, like toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from a public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks
­Sermons in stones, and good in everything ­–
He that wants money, means, and
content is without three good things.
