All hail, friends, give me speech This clamour doth surprise me I am great William Shakespeare But no doubt you recognise me Gaze on this gleaming pate And note my noble seeming Look well into these lustrous eyes Where genius lies gleaming. No addle-knob am I No paltry pot-house poet I am the wonder of all times And, 'sdeath, good folks, I know it A goodly blade forsooth And wondrous well behaven Yet, gossips, I am known afar As Waggish Will of Avon. Refrain: High, high, high upon the scroll of fame engraven My name - Shakespeare - Waggish Will of Avon. |
