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.'
