Language Sounds

[....preface......books are translated from one language to another....words
and phrases differ or be as non-existent.....such was so in shakespeares
time; most were farmers and or craftsmen; so, plays were then altered due to their respectve languages and cultures.....]

O: ...us are 'two'...mmm...   : )

S: ...no oar!?...to shake-harm...again!?...uffff!....

O: ...see...'off-troubles'...and...by 'opt-posing, send them to die...   : )

S: ...oar?...sleep?...now?...

O:...more!...and by 'sleep' say...we end the heartaches...and send
       nature an...'ah shucks...these flashes are there too go...in a
       suns-notion...devoutly to be wished'...   : )
