Just in time for the tail end of National Poetry Month, there's a new poem by William Shakespeare. OK, so it's not newly written, of course; in fact it was discovered about 30 years ago. But it was left out of the most recent editions of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. So it's new to you and most scholars, too.
“To The Queen, by the players” was apparently written as an epilogue to a performance of As You Like It on Tuesday, February 20, 1599. You can't read the poem online that I've been able to find, but you can hear it here, courtesy of the BBC.--David E
