That Shakespeare. He was a tricky bard. I've always been suspicious of his use of the words "pearl" and "jewel" among others. Lots of it is intimate wordplay. He had a weird sense of humour, what with all his ribald meanings and double entendres. There's always a subtext in almost every one of his plays. I can't read Shakespeare anymore without cracking up.
