Shakespeare on CD-ROM

In plastic laminate Ophelia sings

While Hamlet broods on moonless midnight walks
And Portia celebrates the truths of rings
As evil, humpbacked Richard plots and stalks.
Sweet Rosalind, as Ganymede, delights
Orlando’s ardent Arden fantasies;
Her words disturb his leafy bed at night
And set him carving love tokens on trees.
Within this disc King Henry tells his men
The bloody ground of Agincourt and they
Will be remembered aeons without end
While greybeards glory in Saint Crispin’s Day:
Warriors and dreamers and passionate suitors
Can all now fit in slots in computers.
