The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

A S an vnperfect actor on the ſtage,
Who with his feare is put beſides his part,
Or ſome fierce thing repleat with too much rage,
Whoſe ſtrengths abondance weakens his owne heart;
So I for feare of truſt,forget to ſay,
The perfect ceremony of loues right,
And in mine owne loues ſtrength ſeeme to decay,
Ore-charg'd with burthen of mine owne loues might:
O let my looks be then the eloquence,
And domb preſagers of my ſpeaking breſt,
Who pleade for loue,and look for recompence,
More then that tonge that more hath more expreſt.
O learne to read what ſilent loue hath writ,
To heare wit eies belongs to loues fine wiht.

Sonett XXIII, Shakespeare

Wie Schauspieler schlechter auf der Bühne,
Mit voller Angst seinen Spruch vergaß,
Oder Raubtier, mit Wut entbrennend,
Sich selber schwächt Zornesübermaß;
Also ich hatte Angst, und sage nicht,
Meine Wahre Liebe wie herrlich glanzend,
Des Liebes Kraft dieselbe schwacht,
Meiner Liebe Last erliegt sie schwiegend:
Meine Blicke wölle ich dann ausrufen,
Stummen Boten der beredten Brust,
Die Liebe bitten, ihren Lohn begehren,
Mehr dann die Zunge, daß mehr hatte mehr sagte.
Meine Liebchen, ich wölle du lernen,
Was Liebe schwiegend wöllte du schreiben,
Mit die Augen der Liebe meine Liebe hören.
