Shakespeare's Narrative Poems Shakespeare published two long poems, among his earliest successes: Venus and Adonis in and The Rape of Lucrece in These poems were dedicated to his patron the Earl of Southampton.. Venus and Adonis was Shakespeare's first-published work. Modelled after the Roman poet Ovid, it is a re-telling of the classical myth: Venus, the goddess of love, falls for. In addition to his famous plays, William Shakespeare published hundreds of poems throughout his career. Some of these, like The Rape of Lucrece and Venus and Adonis, were long narrative poems. The narrative goes something like this: The poet (i.e., William Shakespeare) begins with a set of 17 sonnets advising a beautiful young man (seemingly an aristocrat, perhaps "Mr. W.H." himself) to marry and produce a child in the interest of preserving the family name and property but even more in the interest of reproducing the young man.

While Shakespeare is known best for his plays he also wrote numerous love sonnets and a handful of narrative poems which are excellent literary works in their own right.
