An irony

Popular opinion:

Get you a sweetheart who breaks out with the most beautiful poetry every time they see you, or at the very least, has the perfect Shakespeare quote for every occasion.

Shakespeare:

Actually... get you a sweetheart who is so in love with you that they get tongue-tied into silence the minute they think of you, and if they are inspired to try and write poems about you, their metaphors are all mixed, and their scansion is a mess -- because the very idea of you is too big for words. And anyway, they care more about you than showing off how clever they are.
