If I Ever Meet Myself (Shakespearean version)

If 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself,

i'd sitteth graciously on silence's table,

and studyeth mine own evolved, yet un-evolv'd self,

undisturbed, unhurried, un-agitated,

by w'rld's brightest gulf

. and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself.

 

if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself,

i'd sitteth comf'rtably on peace's table,

and gaze mine own wounded, yet un-wound'd self,

un-agitated, un-deviated, unmoved,

by w'rld's s'rry self

. and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself.

if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself,

i'd sitteth calmly on agony's table,

and obs'rve mine own painful, yet not painful self,

unmoved, undaunted, unleashed,

by w'rld's weirdest self,

. and smileth backeth, as i seeth myself.

if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself,

i'd sitteth fain on glee's table,

with mine own eyes smiling, and smiling at myself,

unaffected, unguarded, unremitted,

by w'rld's unrequit'd self

. and grineth backeth, at myself.

if 't be true i ev'r befall to meeteth myself,

twill forsooth beest a did bless, contending  miracle,

as yond's at which hour i couldst pateth & greeteth myself,

in real, in real, in real!

and maketh this fact p'rceivable,

yond our w'rld may sure oft hest struggles,

and our m're existence in t,

may just beest negligible,

but we nev'r gotta f'rget

to stayeth hopeful, smileth and giggle,

nay matt'r how hard the struggles,

as yond's the most wondrous fuel,

yond can oft causeth miracles,

in a w'rld,

so obsess'd with struggles!

 

And then with a sigheth,

a blooming grineth,

yet a sparkling desire within,

i'll did bid myself,

a farewell
