Add a touch of class to your day with the shakespeare alarm clock! everyone knows he was the greatsest playwright ever known, so why not tape some of his plays and poems and so on and start your day the shakespeare way?-- ninjafishcake, Jun 22 2003 But soft!

IMHO-- po, Jun 22 2003 See there! A son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight.

Modern english is already hard to understand! Hearing shakespeare to wake up still sounds atractive so, can I have an alarm clock spoken in the modern english version?-- Pericles, Jun 22 2003 Forsooth!

"To die, to sleep— No more, and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to—’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep. To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil Must give us pause..."

No, not really. They divide well, also.-- RayfordSteele, Jun 23 2003 It could even remind you what you did last night: Macduff: Was it so late, friend, ere you went to bed, That you do lie so late? Porter: Faith, sir, we were carousing till the second cock; and drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things. Macduff: What three things does drink especially provoke? Porter: Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance. Therefore much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery; it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him stand to, and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him. Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 3-- kevindimie, Jun 23 2003 //They divide well, also//
