Best I can tell, it doesn't mean anything, just a bunch of nothingness thrown together to fool someone who doesn't know into believing they are a poet. Roll it up and smack him with it.

I'm not sure what "as of now i lye freely on my open throne, that little heart." means, but
"but after the rest that lays upon the shallow eyes, run not with the river and swim against the stream."
Sounds like he was saying "When you wake up, don't go with the crowd."
Which still makes no sense.

Is he a theater major? Likes Shakespeare?
Not sure if it is Shakespeare, because even though I have
been involved in theater for 50 plus years, and have acted
in his plays, I still have no idea what he was saying.
If you like this person, you might enjoy on your next date.
"Lets breakdown some of the Shakesperian type phrases you like to toss out. Lets figure out what they mean. For example, what does as of now I lie freely yada yada yada mean?"
If you have an enjoyable time doing this, you might have a good relationship. If he has no idea and if you don't enjoy it if he does, then I suggest you find someone who has more in common with you. He may be a big blow heart that enjoys sounding important. Don't let him make you feel stupid.
I am pretty bright and am clueless.

My ex girlfriend is an RN. She told me the optimal time for creating a baby would be the 10-15 day range. As far as the day designating either male or female; don't think that has anything to do with it.

Your friend is not exactly a poet either. It's gibberish intended to sound lofty and impressive to you.

He, who I presume to be your teacher, meant for you to evaluate it as a homework assignment.

It is basically saying that you are leaving him open to envy, lonely and solid.

Same here...it's likely crap. I think he was trying to get some.
