by William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

Language: English 
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands:
Curtsied when you have and kissed,
The wild waves shist:
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.

Hark, hark!
Bow-wow.
The watch dogs bark;
Bow-wow.
Hark, hark!
I hear the strain of strutting Chanticleer
Cry, Cock-a-diddle dow.
