Verse: "A Red, Red Rose," Robert Burns
O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
Verse: Hamlet by William Shakespeare (Act III, Scene 1)
HAMLET.
To be, or not to be, that is the question,
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more…

Homework
1. Spend time with your thoughts: pull them apart to their component stars. What are some things you’ve schwumpfed together, and do they belong together?
2. Look at verse (your own or someone else’s), and look at where the schwumpfs are: what thoughts are schwumpfed together? Put || between schwumpfs as you see them, such as:

|
To be || or not to be || that is the question
Or: To be or not to be || that is the question |
