Here are some pictures of William's life

I have seen roses damasked, red and white , But no such roses see I in her cheeks, And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound. I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare || || = Our sites with information and other stuff about Shakespeare! = **-**[]. -[] -"William Shakespeare Facts." //William Shakespeare Biography//.
