William Rewritten
There I was
upon the stage
The limelights
turned up high.
Out in front
for all to see
Delivering
my soliloquy.
With Yorik's
skull clutched in my hand
I bade him fond
farewell
And with the
lights on me alone
I knelt upon
the stage to moan.
And when the
play had ended
I took my
curtain call.
Then wakened
with esteem---
To sleep,
perchance to dream
