La Rose Poem by Naveed Khalid

What is in a name? that by any other name
A rose in proportion would still be a rose,
Unaccounted for love; but by no other attribute
Can have such a proposition, that by argument
His wit be proved where no wit is but pure heaven!
Our esteem'd poet Shakespeare had that in mind
When he defined him for one such evidence,
Far remov'd of two witnesses from any claim
On his name, for whom many a love lost
At the hands of a bunch of fools who loved thee so,
That by nature's torpid desires is rendered numb:
This prophecy Merlin shall make before I go;
For I, my love, hath long abandon'd, that my bed
Be laid among those who have died in thy name.
