Well now, what a day we're having,  absolutely inspirational, fantastic.

I saw Romeo Dallaire remark  on these geese earlier on,

and I considered these geese,  Canada geese.

They're taking over the world.  A bit like Shakespeare.

The Shakespeare we're enormously familiar with,

but the Shakespeare  that we know and we don't know.

And of course, every day, we're quoting  Shakespeare but we don't know it.

Shakespeare – We don't know a great deal about the man.

What we know about him  is generally through his works.

he lived his life, felt great joy  and great sadness,

In Canada – talk about  Shakespeare surrounding us –

we have the Stratford Shakespeare Festival  in Ontario,

that's the biggest theatre festival,  I might add, in North America.

We have Bard on the Beach Shakespeare  here in Vancouver.

We've got Shakespeare festivals in between.  In America,

lots of Shakespeare's festivals through America.

and, of course, The Royal Shakespeare Company  in Stratford-upon-Avon.

So, Shakespeare is alive and well, but  since you leapt out of bed this morning,

I'm sure most of you are very much unaware

that you've been quoting Shakespeare all day.

First of all, I want you to do something  for a change.

I want you to say,  "Quoting Shakespeare".

Now, come on,  with all that energy from the Pop-Tarts,

That's pretty good.  Once more, even louder

If you cannot understand my argument  and declare, "It's Greek to me", you are...

If you claim to be, "More sinned against than sinning", you are...

If you,  "Recall your salad days", you are...

If you act more in sorrow than in anger,  if your wish is father to the thought,

if your lost property has vanished into thin air, you are...

If you've ever refused to budge an inch  or suffered from green-eyed jealousy,

if you've been played fast and loose, been tongue-tied, a tower of strength,

if you have knitted your brows,  made a virtue of necessity,

insisted on fair play, slept not one wink,

stood on ceremony, danced attendance  on your lord and master,

laughed yourself into stitches, had short shrift, cold comfort

If you've seen better days  or lived in a fool's paradise,

why, be that as it may,  the more fool you,

for it is a foregone conclusion  that you are,

If you think it is early days  and clear out bag and baggage,

and that that is the long and the short of it,  if you believe that the game is up

and that truth will out even if it involves  your own flesh and blood,

if you lie low till the crack of doom because you suspect foul play,

if you have your teeth set on edge  at one fell swoop without rhyme or reason,

if the truth were known -- for surely you have  a tongue in your head, you are...

Even if you bid me good riddance  and send me packing,

if you wish I was as dead as a door-nail,

if you think I am an eyesore, a laughing stock,  the devil incarnate,

a stony-hearted villain, bloody-minded or a blinking idiot, then, by Jove!

O Lord! Tut, tut! For goodness' sake!  What the dickens!

But me no buts -  it's all one to me, for you are...

Let's look at the private man  that I alluded to a moment ago.

the playwright in London,  the producer, the actor.

There's a gorgeous little sonnet.  A sonnet is a 14 line poem,

And this particular one – it's perhaps  one of the best known pieces of poetry,

"Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day".

Now generally this little piece of poetry

is said, or recited, or written down, for great occasions,

But there's a theory that in fact,  nestling inside this poetry,

if you think of it another way, Shakespeare,  we didn't know,

that in fact,  this little sonnet was a eulogy.
