You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

And Antony resides in Brunswick Square.
And what is love? It is a doll dress'd up
That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.
Then Cleopatra lives at number seven,
If Queens and Soldiers have play'd deep for hearts,
Yawning and doting a whole summer long,
Fools! make me whole again that weighty pearl
It is no reason why such agonies
That silly youth doth think to make itself
Fools! if some passions high have warm'd the world,
Should be more common than the growth of weeds.
A thing of soft misnomers, so divine
Divine by loving, and so goes on
The Queen of Egypt melted, and I'll say
For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle;
And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots;
Till Miss's comb is made a pearl tiara,
