Shakespeare touches on Nature in his plays. But there is difference between his treatment of Nature and those of the other poets like Shelley.. A stanza from AS YOU LIKE IT is rendered in Tamiz as follows:

viisuka viisuga
kuLirkaalap panikkaaRRee....

kaNNiRkkup pulappadaatha
unakkukkuur paRkaLillai,
eNNaththil nanRiyillaa
manithanpool choRkaLillai.

muuchchilee paNivillaatha
muurkkanee aanapoothum
viichchilee kuRaivillaamal
viisuvaay kuLirnthakaaRRee !

ee oo enRee paadu pachchaik

karumpachchai veNpuung kodiyee -
vvazvai virumpiyee makizntha padiyee
paadu, inip paadu...

The original version runs as follows:

Blow blow thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude,
Heigh ho sing heigh ho
unto the green holly!
Most friendshp is feighning;
most loving mere folly;
Then heigh ho the holly!
This life is most jolly.
