Shakespearean Language

So in English, we are learning about Shakespeare's plays and how he talked and things like that.  Lets just say that I don't exactly have an ear for interpreting poetry stuff.  At all.  I spent like 5 minutes trying to decipher this one line that was more literal than I thought.  If I were to make a poem, it would be the worlds easiest poem to understand.  Also, we are going sometime in November to see the play, A Midsummer's Night Dream.  So that will take a while to understand.  But it will be fun so I am all for it.  At least I am told it will be fun by my English teacher because we are all going as a class.
