I can hear Shakespear scratching his head trying to find some words ...

Shall I compare thee to a fritillary
Thou art more lovely and more easily cultured
Rough winds do shake the unopened buds of February
And winters lease sees many bulbs slaughtered

Retain that dear imperfection which he owes
Without that title.

And Shakespeare "owes" an "e"....
