Usage
Return a sonnet...
Shakerspeare.sonnet #=>'Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
# But sad mortality o’ersways their power,
# How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
# Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
# O, how shall summer’s honey breath hold out
# Against the wrackful siege of battering days,
# When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
# Nor gates of steel so strong, but Time decays?
# O fearful meditation! Where, alack,
# Shall Time’s best jewel from Time’s chest lie hid?
# Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
# Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
# O, none, unless this miracle have might,
# That in black ink my love may still shine bright.'
Or a variety of creative insults...
Shakerspeare.sonnet #=>'Thou art like a toad; ugly and venomous.'
