Is there any poem of William Shakespeare the owl song?

There is a song at the end of Love's Labour's Lost about an owl, the chorus of which goes "Thus sings the owl, tu-whit, tu-whoo, a merry note while greasy Joan doth keel the pot."


How did William Shakespeare die?

Shakespeare's deathFrom the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography:"On 23 April 1616 Shakespeare died. John Ward, a clergyman living in Stratford in the 1660s, recorded that 'Shakespear, Drayton, and Ben Jonson had a merry meeting, and itt seems drank too hard, for Shakespear died of a feavour there contracted' (Chambers, 2.250). The story is not impossible but quite what Shakespeare died from is unknown."(Fractured spellings from the original source)Germaine Greer speculates that he may have caught syphilis. He certainly had a "French crown". Does anyone know of a medical person who has evaluated this clergyman's story (a hearsay tale, I note, since he doesn't say HE was getting drunk with Shakespeare and Jonson)? I thought getting drunk gave you a hangover, not a fever.


In which Shakespeare play is When ways be foul?

That is not an exact quotation, but something similar appears in the "Winter Song" at the end of Love's Labour's Lost: When icicles hang by the wall And Dick the shepherd blows his nail And Tom bears logs into the hall And milk comes frozen home in pail, When blood is nipp'd and ways be foul, Then nightly sings the staring owl, . Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.


Did Hamnet Shakespeare's death affect William Shakespeare?

It probably did, but if so it was not reflected in the plays which Shakespeare was writing at the time of Hamnet's death, viz. around 1596. Shakespeare was very close about his feelings and did not tell everyone about them (of if he did, they did not make note of it).


What does Shakespeare mean by the word a'?

It usually means "he". Thus the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet: "God be with his soul! 'A was a merry man!" It's an archaic abbreviation of sorts. Pronounce it "uh". Please note that the apostrophe precedes the word: it's 'a not a'.
