Shakespearean Chat Up Lines

17th Century Pick-up Lines
"Your words like musick please
me" “You are a flame
of beauty"
“I, like a childe, will go by your
directions"
“Your fingers are made to quaver on a
lute, your arms to hang about a ladies
neck"
Look at Romeo’s first reaction to Juliet…
‘O she doth teach the
torches to shine bright’
Focusing on imageryO, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! So shows a snowy dove trooping with crows, As yonder lady o'er her fellows shows. The measure done, I'll watch her place of stand, And, touching hers, make blessed my rude hand. Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
Oh, she shows the torches how to burn bright! She stands out against the darkness like a jeweled earring hanging against the cheek of an African. Her beauty is too good for this world; she’s too beautiful to die and be buried. She outshines the other women like a white dove in the middle of a flock of crows. When this dance is over, I’ll see where she stands, and then I’ll touch her hand with my rough and ugly one. Did my heart ever love anyone before this moment? My eyes were liars, then, because I never saw true beauty before tonight.
Write your own love poem using original imagery
It seems she sparkles
Like a can of pepsi in a school
bag
Oh, he doth teach Justin Bieber to sing
Your beauty makes my iPhone stop

What Works Well: Well done Ira Wood. My
favourite line includes two similes: “Hold hands like teenagers, fingers meshed like the teeth of rusty
gears”.
Even Better If:You need to check punctuation. See where
I’ve corrected.
