Napowrimo Day 4

I notice that my prompt for today bares a slight similarity to yesterday's from the official site but here goes! For something a little different, I would like you to write a sonnet in reply to one of Shakespeare's. And perhaps in a less flattering manner. Have fun with it and see what sticks!

From the Napowrimo site:
And now here’s another prompt drawn from our archives – and, as usual, optional! Today, let’s try writing triolets. A triolet is an eight-line poem. All the lines are in iambic tetramenter (for a total of eight syllables per line), and the first, fourth, and seventh lines are identical, as are the second and final lines. This means that the poem begins and ends with the same couplet. Beyond this, there is a tight rhyme scheme (helped along by the repetition of lines) — ABaAabAB.

And today's Lucky Dip:
Victory
