Max Beerbohm has a series of limericks (not all of them all that clever)
about Shakespeare plays, originally printed in The Mask in 1924, and
reprinted in Max in Verse (The Stephen Greene Press, 1963). My favorite
is:
No doubt you have heard of Othello--
An African sort of a fellow.
When they say "You are black!"
He cried "Take it back!
I am only an exquisite yellow."
Cary

Comment: Re: SHK 10.0289 Cunning Linguist Hamlet in N.L.
Here's one I wrote.
There once was a playwright named Will
Whose plays are quite popular still.
He wrote for us all
Both the great and the small,
Though most of his characters get killed.

>> Anyone to pinpoint the soliloquy it begins?<<
It's from a fairly unknown passage that begins "To be or..." (Sorry,
forgot the rest. <g>)

The anagram is derived from this soliloquy;
"To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the
mind to
suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."

Here are some limericks by Dan Dungan of Nelson New Zealand which I
occasionally include in our SGCNZ newsletter:
