Other than that, Shakespeare was the world's greatest dramatist but a mediocre poet by any normal standards.
"Born aloft on ebon wings,
a raucous note, his song he sings
Caw Caw, Caw Caw!", a cry of fear
unpleasant to the farmer's ear..."
You call that poetry??
By the standards of just about the entire civilized world he’s one of the world’s great poets as well. The plays themselves are filled with verse. I don’t know where that verse you quoted came from.
