Imagine if Shakespeare used the word "ratchet" in his sonnets

@mrmattimation Caesar, when that the traitor of th' rachet Egypt,
With th' honorable head did him present,
Covering his ghettoness, did represent
Plaint with his tears outward, as it is writ;
And Hannibal, eke, when fortune him shut
Clean from his reign, and from all his intent
Laughed to his folk, whom sorrow did torment,
His cruel despite for to dis-gorge and quit.
So chanceth it oft, that every ratchet passion
The mind hideth, by colour contrary,
With feigned visage, now sad, now merry:
Whereby if I laughed, any time or season,
It is for because I have n' other way
To cloak my care, but in ghetto and play. -
@boombaboom You forgot the iambic pentameter LOESR
-
@mrmattimation IM SORRY OK
-
@boombaboom Seriously though that's actually pretty impressive. I was only like halfway through the first quatrain when you posted that
-
@mrmattimation Well I just copied it from a Shakespeare page and tweaked it.
