MC Lars - The Sonnet Song lyrics

"Shall I compare thee to a, summer's day?
Thou art, more lovely and more temperate"
Maybe you might know these rhymes?

They are from a sonnet that
Shakespeare wrote long ago fourteen lines
The first three quatrains establish a theme

"What is pentameter?" Let’s take a look?
Five pairs of syllables
Where rhythm is the hook
Leaving Petrarch shook with
Shakespeare's twist
Unstressed stressed and it sounds like this
"But soft what light through
Yonder window breaks?"
Helping actors learn their lines
To minimize mistakes
'Cause life is complicated, hardly idyllic
Like an amphibrach mixed with
A foot so dactylic

"Shall I compare thee to a, summer's day?
Thou art, more lovely and more temperate"
Maybe you might know these rhymes?

They are from a sonnet that
Shakespeare wrote long ago fourteen lines
The first three quatrains establish a theme

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare)
Wrote mad sonnets
William Shakespeare (Shakespeare)
Wrote mad sonnets
If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare)
Wrote mad sonnets
William Shakespeare (Shakespeare)
Wrote mad sonnets
If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em

What do we know about Shakespeare’s life?
No tell-all biographies penned by his wife
So we look to the sonnets
And read what they say
Who was the Dark Lady? Who was Anne Hathaway?
And was Shakespeare gay? No one really knows
But he wrote hella poems showing
Love to his bro
"Was Shakespeare even Shakespeare?" Many
Scholars want to know
By any other name is a rose still a rose? Yo!

Seriously though
The authorship question is a
Very important one
And it’s honestly worth of it's own
Song stay tuned for that
Yo DJ! This drop is too long! What is this
Coriolanus?

Rhyme scheme goes AB AB CD CD EF E
F, the final lines always rhyme
And they all resolve (GG)
Petrarch he wrote sonnets too
But this song’s, not 'bout you
A - BBAABB- C DC DC D? (Please)

William Shakespeare (Shakespeare)
Wrote mad sonnets
William Shakespeare (Shakespeare)
Wrote mad sonnets
If you love someone, drop pentameter on ‘em
