This is a near-perfect pop song to me.
The lines 'Romeo and Juliet/they never felt this way, I bet' are perfect.
'Burt compared the song and Madonna's delivery of the lyrics with the dialogues spoken by Shakespeare's Juliet, and found similarity in the, "Sweet so would I, Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing" from the play, with the lyrics of "Cherish".'

IAGO: I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs. Speaking to Desdemona's father, the senator Brabantio. Earliest recorded use of "beast with two backs" in English; though Rabelais used it in Gargantua and Pantagruel (c. 1532),…
Book Review: The History of Henry IV, Part 1 by William Shakespeare
Author: William Shakespeare
Title: The History of Henry IV, Part 1
Publication Info: New York : Simon & Schuster Paperbacks, 2020. [Originated circa 1597]
Summary/Review:
Of the Shakespearean English histories I’ve read so far, this one is the least stand alone. It definitely feels like it’s setting up Henry IV, Part 2 and Henry V. King Henry IV has a couple of problems: first, he falls out with Henry Percy – a.k.a. Hotspur – who allies with Welsh and Scottish rebels against the king. Meanwhile, his son Prince Hal is leading a licentious life with his rowdy friend Sir John Falstaff. I’ve known from reading about Shakespeare that Falstaff was an incredibly popular character, cowardly yet quick-witted, but I found him kind of irritating. Hopefully, I’ll find him more entertaining in upcoming plays. The various storylines come together with Prince Hal regaining the king’s affections by fighting the rebels at the Battle of Shrewsbury.
Rating: ***
I’m reading every Shakespeare play, one per month, in chronological order. Here’s my progress thus far:
March 23 is Talk Like Shakespeare Day! The famous playwright was very influenced by commedia dell'arte including the fanciful commedia pastorale. Here is a line from the witches in the "Scottish Play" (ACT IV Scene 1) that... well if you love performing and merriment could be seen as motivational!
"Come, sisters, cheer we up his sprites,
And show the best of our delights:
I'll charm the air to give a sound,
While you perform your antic round." --William Shakespeare
