William Shakespeare’s poems sometimes will give u advice about allot of things dealing with life. __ Favorite Poem __ **All the World's a Stage ** All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school. And then the lover, sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pared, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, in fair round belly with good capon lined, with eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; and so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and skippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

"All the World's a Stage" is my favorite poem from William shake spear because I know what the messages in the poem. What Shakespeare is saying is let’s pretend that the world is a stage, and that we are actors on that stage. Like actors, we too have our entrances and exits; that is, we are born and we die, and like them we play different roles from the day that we are born. The stage thus stands for life (we say it is a metaphor for life) and the actors can represent all of us at different stages or ages in our lives. So I get the message that lies within Shakespeare’s poem. __ Poem Analysis __ **Fidel ** FEAR no more the heat o' the sun, nor the furious winter's rages; Thou thy worldly task has done, Home art gone, and taken thy wages: Golden lads and girls all must, as chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

Fear no more the frown o' the great, Thou art past the tyrant's stroke; Care no more to clothe and eat; To thee the reed is as the oak: The scepter, learning, physic, must All follow this, and come to dust.

Fear no more the lightning-flash, nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone; Fear not slander, censure rash; Thou hast finish’s joy and moan: All lovers young, all lovers must Consign to thee, and come to dust.

No exerciser harms thee! Nor no witchcraft charms thee! Ghost unpaid forbear thee! Nothing will come near thee! Quiet consummation have; And renowned be thy grave!  This poem is basically saying don’t fear anything or worry about any pain life is causing because when you die all of those problems will go
