O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!(275)
Thou art the ruins of the noblest man
That ever lived in the tide of times.
Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!
Over thy wounds now do I prophesy
Which like dumb mouths do ope their ruby lips(280)
To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue,
A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;
Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;
Blood and destruction shall be so in use,(285)
And dreadful objects so familiar,
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds,
And Caesar's spirit ranging for revenge,(290)
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war,
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.
Takes the last few word of each line based on the beats and rhythm of the piece and you get this, you also need to correct back to old English in places to get the meaning.
Thou bleeding piece of earth, gentle with these butchers!
The noblest man in the tide of times that shed this costly blood!
Now do I prophesy, do open thy ruby lips and utterance of my tongue.
Upon the limbs of men and fierce civil strife all the parts of Italy
Shall be so in use, so familiar, but smile when they behold with the hands of war.
Of fell deeds for revenge hot from hell, with a monarch's voice
The dogs of war, shall smell above the earth for burial.
With this code it prophesies the events of the book of revelations.
These codes make me LOL a lot, but as WS works use beats and follow the Iambic Pentameter, you can section the text in to beats an play with it.
Hell what I just did would be a great death metal song.
Have a go yourself, take a section of WS work follow the Iambic pentameter and see what you get.
