That as may be, it's hard to fall in love with beautiful prose when it's so obtuse that you can't tell what they're actually saying.

I love Shakespeare, he was like..amazing. McBeth is probably my favorite play, and my favorite sonnet is (surprise surprise) Sonnet 116, closely followed by Sonnet 18.
Ben Johnson (same era) was also an amazing poet.. I love "song to Cilia" (I think that is the name of it anyway).

....I can understand it....
The Taming of the Shrew is my favorite.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is also really good, too...
