Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

He, unwelcome pest,
Met a lady distressed,
Web-swinging o'er that sweet.

Miss got off her duff
Left mad, in a huff:
"An arachnid has ruined my treat!"

Little Boy Blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn.

Where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack,
Fast asleep.

Oh, the mood's blue,
A mystery search.
A youth abandons:
He left in a lurch.

So where's the wee boy
Who often screws sheep?
Look there, in the sack
With Little Bo Peep.

Othello, V, ii, 341-343

"Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice: then, must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well."

"Look upon us: Iago gave a most potent untruth.
I, Othello, slew that innocent beauty, wife Desdemona.
Shame takes my own life next..."

Hamlet, II, ii, 323-328

What a piece of work is a man!
How noble in reason!
How infinite in faculty!
In form and moving how express and admirable!
In action how like an angel!
In apprehension how like a god!
The beauty of the world!
The paragon of animals!

Arranging a probe into
Shakespearian dichotomy:
Will he view man as
all bright and shining?
Or is he a cynic?
When we examine Hamlet,
what opinion will be found?
Hope, anon, a note of affirmation,
or a put-down of weak-kneed fools?
