    Rather naïve, failing even to mention the possibilities of counterpoint
    (“To bé / or nót / to bé, / thát is / the quéstion,” or the well known differences in syllabification between Shakespeare’s time and ours (“banishèd”, “musiciàn”), not to mention the occasional changes in words
    (“Mílan”, “revénue”).
