    “But strictly between us,
    You’re cuter than Venus and what’s more you’ve got arms.”

    “Not a flower, not a flower sweet
    On my black coffin let there be strewn.
    Not a friend, not a friend greet
    My poor corpse, where my bones shall be thrown.
    A thousand thousand sighs to save,
    Lay me, O, where
    Sad true lover never find my grave,
    To weep there.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
