they sure,do
life's still like that
"hell is empty and
all the devils are here"

not much has changed in that regard
in the last 400 years
we still read you
we still discuss you
we still admire you
we thank you
for enriching our language
for your wisdom
for your genius
some don't understand
why you bequeathed the love of your life
the second best bed in your will
I do

Thou art absolute, all-flawless, and divine,”
