Lex's poetic efforts are just too good to hide in the comments section. So here (in response to the end of Helen's last post) they are!
Tis only fit that Shakespeare's plays should be
Examined on this Anglospheric blog!
For what more timely, now, as then, to see
Th'essential nature of those things we share
That heritage far-spread, for good and ill,
So fitly limned in Will's enduring plays?
So Helen feel not bound to hold from us
Thy musings on the Tudors or the Bard!
Let not thy Blogging Muse be so betrayed!
Please break thy promise so untimely made!
Lexington Green

Brush up your Shakespeare
Start quoting him now.
Brush up your Shakespeare
And the women you will vow.
Not mine but Cole Porter's but appropriate.
