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.
His jest shall savour but a shallow wit, when thousands more weep than did laugh it.
William Shakespeare
The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.
William Shakespeare
