Author Notes
The last line, presuming Mister Shakespeare's response, is an excerpt from a Sonnet. Credit William Shakespeare the following:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date . . . .
"Sonnet 18," 1-4
