Re: [PATCH] Fix some typos

I attach a patch with Shakespeare's sonnet completely fixed: the poem is
replaced by the version included in Wikipedia (Shakespeare, William.
Duncan-Jones, Katherine. Shakespeare’s Sonnets. Bloomsbury Arden 2010.
p. 113). I also removed a spurious phrase that I put in that patch
(Org-News).

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
