The Shakespeare anagrams—

The tub sold has old rough shelves.
And e’en this fisherman caught best white smelts.
A living lord’s black dress, worn high, I vow!

are formed, letter for letter and line for line, from this passage in “Romeo and Juliet”—

“Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun’s beams,
Driving black shadows over low’ring hills.”
