I fear too early, for my mind misgives
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night’s revels, and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast
By some vile forfeit of untimely death
But he that hath the steerage of my course,
Direct my sail. On, lusty gentlemen
Shakespeare has a variety of language text to attract his readers one of these language features are metaphors he uses it when he said ”
But he that hath the steerage of my course,Direct my sail”
Shakespeares use of the semantic field throughout all of his plays seems to be very effective he uses it in Romeo and Juliet especially an example of this is but he the hath the steerage of my course,Direct my sail he uses an example of God to take over his course and let everything fall into place he uses language features such as a metaphor comparing the way his life to a boat
