Shakespeare's use of more than 10 syllables per line

Shakespeare use of more than 10 syllables per line is meant to draw attention to the line, perhaps looking more important.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest writers of all time. The Englishman was a playwright, poet, and actor, and left a work of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few loose verses whose authorship is disputed.

William Shakespeare's poems have never been as successful as his work as a playwright. Many of his sonnets are believed to have been written as private orders. They usually deal with topics such as love and passion, procreation, death and time.  In his poems, Shakespeare had the custom of using more than 10 syllables per line, he did this to draw attention to that line and make it appear that this line was of utmost importance to the poem.
