He wrote new words for many of the melodies. Here are the words of one of them:
Should auld acguaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acguaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang Syne?
Chorus: For auld lang Syne, my dear,
For auld lang Syne.
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang Syne.
And here's a hand my trusty friend,
And give a hand of thine:
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For auld lang Syne.

William Shakespeare was born on the 23d of April, 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon in a family of a glover.
The English school was a difficult place of that time. Pupils had to be at school at 6 o'clock in the morning and school days were long. In the holidays William Shakespeare went to the river Avon to have a real rest. Groups of actors visited Stratford from time to time. William Shakespeare watched them and decided to become an actor. When he was 21, he went to London . He became an actor there and began to write plays. He wrote 37 wonderful plays. Shakespeare's heroes are still on the stage. We go to the theatre to meet them again and again.
