Full fathom five thy father lies,
His diving gear was the wrong size.
(or, optionally, "aqualung").
I don't think I can put myself to doing either of these any more;
I've left it so long (clearing out my parents' house, sprucing up my
web page, and finally getting into Valdyan phonology) that it feels
like overdue homework. And I'm supposed to be doing this for *fun*.
If I ever feel like translating Shakespeare, I'll probably want to do
it from the original anyway :-)
