iambic pentameter

But soft! What light through yon-der win-dow breaks?

It is the East and Ju-liet is the sun!

A-rise fair sun and kill the en-vious moon,

Who is al-rea-dy sick and pale with grief

That though her maid art far more fair than she

Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,

But as for me, hélas, I may no more.

The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,

I am of them that farthest cometh behind.

Yet may I by no means my wearied mind

Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore

Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,

Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.

Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,

As well as I may spend his time in vain.

And graven with diamonds in letters plain

There is written, her fair neck round about:

Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,

And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.

Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,

But as for me, hélas, I may no more.

The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,

I am of them that farthest cometh behind.

Yet may I by no means my wearied mind

Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore

Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,

Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.

Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,

As well as I may spend his time in vain.

And graven with diamonds in letters plain

There is written, her fair neck round about:

Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,

And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.

Dear Ms Jensen,

I'm writing to request some time off between Thursday 18 March and Friday 25 March in order to attend my brother's wedding in Switzerland.

(I understand that the week I am requesting exceeds my remaining annual leave by. I would like to ask if those days may be taken in lieu of the extra working hours I put in during the two weekends of the Chicago International Management Conference last November.)

I have spoken to Kristian Sander and Jasmine Riber, who have both agreed to cover for me during my absence. I would also distribute a playbook for my team members so that everyone is clear on the tasks they are in charge of and the deadlines they have to meet. During my leave, I would be fully reachable by phone and email to answer any questions or provide any assistance needed, except for Monday 22 March from 13.00 to 15.00. I would also be happy to discuss any further plans to ensure my workload is covered.

Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you for your consideration of my request.

Best regards,

..........
