William Shakespeare lived from April 1564 - April 1616.
It is not known when he started writing, but it is known that several of his plays were being staged in 1592 - when he would have been 28. Nothing is attributed to him later than 1613, so he was probably writing for around twenty years.
Shakespeare also wrote sonnets and long narrative poems
Petrarch has written 366 poems and these poems can be found in the book "The Canzoniere".

Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets, 28 plays and two long poems (maybe 3, if you count the Turtle and the Phoenix)
Shakespeare wrote two long poems on mythological subjects: Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. Neither of these is really "epic" although they are quite long. In the case of Venus and Adonis, "pornographic" would be nearer the mark.

Most of Shakespeare's poems are sonnets, but there are also long narrative poems written in couplets.
