    450 years or so,great legacy.In my schooling did 'Merchant of Venice' and 'Corilanus' and as my english teacher said got the raw deal in plays that year.It's not the plays I had a problem with but the sonnets,so my question is what structure would you prefer in a sonnet?

    Petrarchan or Shakespearean,poll to follow(if i could do one)

    Happy Birthday Liam

    This above all; to thine own self be true,
    And it must follow, as the night the day,
    Thou canst not be false to any man.

    That man's probably responsible for about 60 % of teen suicides over the last century.
