Poetic contraction

Poetic Contractions are archaic and obsolete contractions of words not commonly used today in modern english, but are still found used extensively in early modern English poetry, particular that of William Shakespeare. The extent to which the usage of poetic contractions really helps with matching poetic meters is neglectable, and modern readers prefer to substitute the contractions with the actual words they imply for clarity, rather than adhere to obsolete words for the purpose of archaic nostalgia.
