A Word by Any Other Name

I’ve been called pompous at times
but never in the right circumstances.
It was always in jest
but would have been best
had I lain low and not taken my chances.

Shakespeare is a hard guy to follow,
he makes what I say seem so hollow
and worse when it comes to the rhymes.

Prompts: Pomp and circumstance (from
Othello), lie low (from Much Ado About Nothing).
