Sigh no More


My moody mood, in its low, was not letting me to work any more for today. I, on self-help mission, was browsing afloat through this nice link sent by my colleague (SNORT, of course, he doesn't snort!). I liked this poem in all and I would love to copy it for you. I never knew before that Shakespeare did write something in a language, i could understand.

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever;
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never.

Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no mo
Of dumps so dull and heavy;
The fraud of men was ever so,
Since summer first was leavy.

Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be you blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny.

-- by William Shakespeare

PS: I don't have anything against MEN. So Men, you can change it however you like and read with gusto.

well ... sometimes Iam amazed at how typical a male I am. But now I dont have to feel guilty since Shakespeare says that all men are so ... so, I just blame it on chemicals inside me and move on in bliss ;)
