O, that this too too solid flesh would melt

I love the word-play where William says: "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!" where the play on words of "a dew" and "adieu" are so obvious but perhaps so overlooked. Maybe the audience of the day would have got the joke?

Absolutely brilliant! Those driving reggaeton rhythms instantly pulled me in. The hypnotic beats and staccato desert blues guitar create such a unique atmosphere. This arrangement is both adventurous and uplifting. What a fantastic way to bring this lovely poem to life!
