Hark bounded und nicht dasein rocked
Jeg vil dasein hic in das morgen
Causality: je flotte
Thy cigarette brennt noch
Thy rodet-su mundo wilt gi meg spending
Alison I am hath verloren

Yup. Might as well try another whilst I'm on a roll:

Lambkin, lambkin - it was but jest
When my lips spoke with a burning desire
To breaketh the pegs betwixt your lips.
Lambkin, lambkin - it was but jest
That I stated, forsooth, m'lady must
Be struck whence she took her slumber.

Bigmouth Strikes Again! 😁 this is fun but I'm not even gonna try, haven't read enough Shakespeare.

Here's mine...

Prithee, charge thine muskets
And summon your kith!
Foresooth, 'tis amusing to taste defeat
And to feign.
The lady doth protest her ennui,
Yet asserts her form;
But hark! Regret!
The saucy term...

Oooh, well done. Smells Like Teen Spirit.

To hear out mine pathetic cries
About nothing, and yet all
I am in ownership of many melodramatic cries
A madman to the bone
Nay doubteth it

Basket Case by Green Day, squire.

And to feign.

Myself and many of my friends are pseudo Shakespeare nerds. We are also music nerds, which has naturally lent itself well into mixing with one another. So here's a game we've begun playing...

Take the lyrics of a popular song, but rewrite them in Shakespearean language. Then post and see who can correctly guess. After guessing, post your lyrics.

If anyone else feels like joining in, here's my opening lyric:

Doest though possess the time
To hear out mine pathetic cries
About nothing, and yet all
I am in ownership of many melodramatic cries
A madman to the bone
Nay doubteth it
