What is being described?
What is your reaction?
I've got you under my skin I've got you deep in the heart of me So deep in my
heart that you're really a part of me I've got you under my skin I'd tried so not
to give in I said to myself this affair never will go so well But why should I try
to resist when baby I know so well I've got you under my skin I'd sacrifice
anything come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a
warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear Don't
you know little fool You never can win Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time that I do just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin I would sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near In spite of the warning voice that comes in
the night And repeats how it yells in my ear Don't you know, little fool You
never can win Why not use your mentality Step up, wake up to reality But
each time I do just the thought of you Makes me stop just before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin Yes, I've got you under my skin

Shall
. I compare thee to a Summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough B
winds do shake the darling buds of May,
A
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date:
B
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
C
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd;
D
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
C
By chance or nature's changing course
D
untrimm'd:
E
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade
F
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, E
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
F
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
G
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

metre that Shakespeare uses.

Heartbeat.
Quite simply, it sounds like this:
dee DUM, dee DUM, dee DUM,
dee DUM, dee DUM. It consists of
a line of five iambic feet, ten
syllables with five unstressed and
five stressed syllables. It is the first
and last sound we ever hear, it is
the rhythm of the human heart
beat.
