THE ARCHAEOLOGIST OF THE FUTURE Five thousand years have fled, let us suppose.
And lo, an archaeologist appears,
Searching for records of our joys and fears.
And haply out of all our verse and prose
One book alone remains. How will it pose
His plodding brain, after that flight of years,
To come on Alice swimming in her tears,
Or Father William, an eel upon his nose! He'll stare and gasp at Tweedle-dee and -dum
And gape at incandescent words that mock
Invention: Bandersnatch and Jabberwock,
And, fancying angry eggs and talking flowers,
No doubt will think his fifth millennium
A far less entertaining time than ours. -- Leonard Bacon

Why did shakespeare write in iambic pentameter?
In 1573, as part of his new religious reforms (because he had just become Pope in 1572) Pope Gregory XIII instituted the Catholic practice that all secular poetry was required to be written in iambic pentameter in order to encourage primarily religious work. By the time William Shakespeare was of age to begin seriously writing poetry, it had become common practice to use primarily iambic pentameter in any work worthy of reading. Because of this, he adopted the practice of writing in iambic pentameter. Interestingly, the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in iambic pentameter mirrors the way most people naturally speak. This writing pattern, embraced by Shakespeare, makes the Old English verse sound more conversational, and more familiar to modern listeners.
