A number of composers have also set various Shakespeare poems (some of which appear as songs in his plays) to music. Just off the top of my head, Ralph Vaughan Williams set "O Mistress Mine" in a madrigal style. John Rutter, in "Icicles" (a set of Christmas Songs) set "Winter" ("When icicles hang by the wall...") and "Blow, blow thou winter wind."
