William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. They also continue to be studied and reinterpreted.

"Study is like the heaven's glorious sun,
That will not be searched out by saucy looks."
Shakspere. [Harmonies of Tones and Colours, Reflections on the Scheme3, page 45]
"Sinful doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might win,
By fearing to attempt them."
