Said Hamlet to Ophelia
I'll do a sketch of thee
What sort of pencil shall I use
2B or not 2B
Off the top of my head, any good? Golly I could be a Bard

Sorry, it's not Shakespeare. But it's about KDB, that I'm sure of:
And, says Mrs. Mountstuart, while grand phrases were mouthing round about him: “You see he has a leg”.
That you saw, of course. But after she had spoken you saw much more.
(from The Egoist, by George Meredith).
As for Shakespeare, well, for José Mourinho, I always presumed the Bard was thinking of him when he penned this:
“I will do such things—What they are yet I know not, but they shall be the terrors of the earth!” (Lear, II.iv. 280-282)

Don't. "Glisters" is a much rarer and more beautiful word, imo. And in any case — it's what the man wrote.

Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
