    Looking up at stars, I know quite well
    that for all they care, I can go to hell.
    But on earth indifferance is the least
    we have to dread, from man or beast

    How should we like it were the stars to burn
    with a passion for us we could not return
    If equal effection can not be,
    let the more loving one be me

    Admirer as I think I am
    of stars that do not give a damn
    I can not, now I see them, say
    I missed one terribly all day

    Were all stars to disappear or die
    I should learn to look at empty sky
    and feel it's total dark sublime
    though this might take me a little time


    O.K...the punctuation is c**p, but, in fairness, I did it from memory.

    Can I compare thee to a rose,
    Ye prick.
