Good morrow, fine fellow

I missed yesterday's Talk Like Shakespeare Day. It was apparently in honor of his 445th birthday, but I can't quite figure out his real birthday. He was baptised April 26, so maybe yesterday was the real day.
I always liked old Will. Macbeth is perhaps my favorite, but I also liked his sonnets. I think it remarkable that his works have lasted so long with the popularity they have. When I was but a young lass, I liked Lady Macbeth and would dress up in a white sheet and perform her speeches in my bedroom. Thespian that I am. So, Happy baptism day on Sunday, old Will. I beseech ye to give my soul rest for leaving from my mind the especial day on which ye be birthed.
