> GREENE'S GROATS-WORTH OF WIT"
> When Shakespeare was 28, Robert Greene (or Henry Chettle)
> wrote a death bed pamphlet, Greene's Groats-worth of Wit,
> printed in 1592. A question is whether it personally attacked
> Shakespeare. If so, he must have already been active in the London
> theater some years before Oxfordians say he arrived, well after 1595.
> From the pamphlet, with original italics but my explanatory brackets:
> Yes [you, university educated playwrights] trust them [theater
> managers & players] not: for there is an upstart Crow, beautified
> with our feathers, that whith his Tygers hart wrapt in a Players hyde,
> supposes he is as well able to bombast [pad or fill] out a blank
> verse with the best of you: & being an absolute Johannes fac totum,
> is in his conceit the onley Shake-scene in a countrey.
>
> The "Crow, beautified with our feathers" was a stock allusion
> to a plagiarist, from Horace. However, Crow had another
> 16th C meaning, an implement that no longer exists.
> Aside from Horace's feather bedecked black bird, in the 1590s a
> Crow was also a strong wooden pole with a heavy curved iron tip,
> called its "bill", which looked a crow's beak, hence the name Crow.
> The crow was a versatile tool for hooking a barge, rolling logs,
> grappling, levering, etc., with so many uses you might
> even say it was a Johannes fac totum.
>
> Greene's "an upstart Crow" looked like a heavy spear with a bent tip,
> a deformed "Speare" if you will. Combine the capital "Crow" with the
> capital "Shake-scene" & it depicts a name, Shakespeare. This might
> explain Henry Chettle's later apology.
>
> Any quibble about whoever authored the pamphlet, Chettle or Greene, is
> unimportant. It was printed & titled as Greene's Groets-worth of Wit.
> I'd say the capitalized "Shake-scene" & "upstart Crow" sneeringly
> referred to William Shakespeare.

In Speculative Masonry an *ASHLAR is freeSTONE* as it comes out

But after one is 'smoothed & polished' by education and one learns
to restrain (or 'temper') ones passions, he is represented by the
*Perfect ASHLAR* , the smoothed and squared *STONE*, fitted into
