Collaborating With Shakespeare

COLLABORATING WITH SHAKESPEARE 

O Romeo, ahh...Juliet - a pair.
These youths, so fair of face, in love, despair.

Though years would teach a major change of thought.
Dear Juliet would murder him whose caught.

Then he’d but be a Romeo, forspent
by blond and brunette hairs — not worth four cents.

Spare the old boy his years? Now don’t you quit!
Put down the potion, dear — love’s not worth it.
