I'll bet you'd like that album. The lady can sing, I'mo tell you what.

I found the passage in a book of Shakespeare's plays. She didn't have to change it much.

Here are some of the other words in that passage which she put in her album liner notes:

Fear no more the lightning flash,
Nor th' all-dreaded thunder stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finished joy and moan.
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee and come to dust.

No exorciser harm thee!
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
Nothing ill come hear thee!
Quiet consummation have,
And renowned by thy grave!
