About William Shakespeare:
William Shakespeare is often called England's national poet, and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak knits up the o-er wrought heart and bids it break.
