The Sonnet Song |
| «Shall I compare thee to a, summer’s day? |
| Thou art, more lovely and more temperate» |
| Maybe you might know these rhymes? |
| They are from a sonnet that |
| Shakespeare wrote long ago |
| Fourteen lines, the first three quatrains establish a theme |
| «What is pentameter?» |
| Let’s take a look? |
| Five pairs of syllables, where rhythm is the hook |
| Leaving Petrarch shook with Shakespeare’s twist |
| Unstressed stressed and it sounds like this |
| «But soft what light through yonder window breaks?» |
| Helping actors learn their lines to minimize mistakes |
| 'Cause life is complicated, hardly idyllic |
| Like an amphibrach mixed with a foot so dactylic |
| «Shall I compare thee to a, summer’s day? |
| Thou art, more lovely and more temperate» |
| Maybe you might know these rhymes? |
| They are from a sonnet that |
| Shakespeare wrote long ago |
| Fourteen lines, the first three quatrains establish a theme |
| William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!) |
| Wrote mad sonnets |
| William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!) |
| Wrote mad sonnets |
| If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em |
| William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!) |
| Wrote mad sonnets |
| William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!) |
| Wrote mad sonnets |
| If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em |
| What do we know about Shakespeare’s life? |
| No tell-all biographies penned by his wife |
| So we look to the sonnets, and read what they say |
| Who was the Dark Lady? |
| Who was Anne Hathaway? |
| And was Shakespeare gay? |
| No one really knows |
| But he wrote hella poems showing love to his bro |
| «Was Shakespeare even Shakespeare?» |
| Many scholars want to know |
| By any other name is a rose still a rose? |
| Yo! |
| Seriously though, the authorship question is a very important one |
| And it’s honestly worth of its own song. |
| Stay tuned for that. |
| Yo DJ! |
| This drop is too long! |
| What is this, Coriolanus? |
| Rhyme scheme goes AB AB CD CD EF E |
| F, the final lines always rhyme and they all resolve (GG) |
| Petrarch he wrote sonnets too but this song’s, not 'bout you |
| A — BBAABB- C DC DC D? |
| (Please!) |
| William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!) |
| Wrote mad sonnets |
| William Shakespeare (Shakespeare!) |
| Wrote mad sonnets |
| If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em |
