http://www.zeta.org.au/~rgaskell/shakesp.htm : Somni, dulce somni : Natura moli kura-fe, kom mi pa sti tu anti : ke tu pa sto kata mi oku-teg : e los mi este in oblivio Glosa has enough unstressed little grammatical Words to achieve an English-like poetic Rhythm, I believe; and one could likely coerce it to appear quite brutal, except that all Auxlangers have such gentle Natures. Again, the Capitalization of common Nouns would help.
