_SHAKEspeare, Dr Johnson, the Brewery_ by Bill McCann
<<SHAKEspeare's Globe closed its doors in 1644 and nEVER reopened.
Beside it was a small brewhouse and although Cromwell's Puritans closed
all the theatres they left the breweries alone. The entire site went on
to become home to a famous Anchor brewery which sported the IMAGE of the
rotund Dr Johnson clutching a pint pot in their "Barclay's Doctor" logo.
Referred to more than once in the novels of Dickens, the Anchor brewery
was one of the sights of London & visitors flocked to see it: e.g.,
the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII), Bismarck & Napoleon III.>>

Julius Caesar Act 1, Scene 3
CASSIUS: set this up with wax Upon old Brutus' STATUE:
Act 2, Scene 2
CAESAR: The cause is in my WILL: I WILL not come;
That is enough to satisfy the senate.
But for your private satisfaction,
Because I love you, I WILL let you know:
Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home:
She dreamt to-night she saw my STATVA,
Which, like a fountain with an hundred spouts,
Did run pure blood: and many lusty Romans
Came smiling, and did bathe their hands in it:
And these does she apply for warnings, and portents,
And evils imminent; and on her knee
Hath begg'd that I WILL stay at home to-day.
DECIUS BRUTUS: This dream is all amiss interpreted;
It was a vision fair and fortunate:
Your STATUE spouting blood in many pipes,
In which so many smiling Romans bathed,
Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck
Reviving blood, and that great men shall press
For tinctures, stains, relics and cognizance.
This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.
Act 3, Scene 2
Second Citizen: Give him a STATUE with his ancestors.

1560 GENEVA: O King, thou sawest, and behold, there was a great IMAGE:
this great IMAGE whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and
the form thereof was terrible. This IMAGE's head was of fine GOLD,
his breast and his arms of silVER, his belly and his thighs of BRASS,
His legs of IRON, and his feet were part of IRON, and part of clay.
Thou beheldest it till a stone was cut without hands, which smote
the image upon his feet, that were of IRON and clay, and brake them
to pieces. Then was the IRON, the clay, the BRASS, the silVER and
the GOLD broken all together, and became like the chaff of the
summer flowers, and the wind carried them away, that no place
was found for them: and the stone that smote the image,
became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

RomEO and Juliet Act 5, Scene 3

Third Gentleman: No:
the princess hearing of her mother's STATUE,
which is in the keeping of Paulina,--a piece many
years in doing and now newly performed by that rare
Italian master, Julio Romano, who, had he himself
eternity and could put breath into his work, would
beguile NATURE of her custom, so perfectly he is her ape:
----------------------------------------------------------
(T) his Figure, that thou here seest put,
It was for gentle SHAKEspeare cut,
[W]herein the Graver had a strife
with NATURE, to out-doo the life :

As well in [BRASS]e, as he hath hit

<<In GREEK mythology, TALOS was a man of [BRASS],
the work of Hephaestos (Vulcan), who went round

a STRANGEr draw near the island he either threw boulders
at them or he made himself red-hot, and embraced the STRANGEr.
When Jason & the Argonauts escaped to CRETE with the GOLDen
Fleece Medea was able to remove the plug on TALOS' ANKLE
such that the ICHOR, his life force, FLOWED out of him.>>

<<In [Hall's] Fourth Book, Satire I:

Why? For I smite and hide the galled place,
Gird but the Cynicks Helmet on his head,

Long as the craftie Cuttle lieth sure
In the black cloud of his thick VOMITure;
Who list complaine of wronged faith or fame
When he may shift it on to another name?
From this it is evident Hall is speaking of the "Honourable Order
of the Knights of the Helmet". This order was described in those
famous Christmas revels at Gray's Inn during the holiday season
of 1594/1595 which are recorded in a publication titled "Gesta
Grayorum". Bacon was in charge of producing these revels.>>

Julius Caesar Act 3, Scene 2
ANTONY: You all do know this mantle: I remember
The first time EVER Caesar put it on;
'Twas on a summer's evening, in his tent,
That day he OVERcame the Nervii:
Look, in this place ran Cassius' dagger through:
See what a rent the envious Casca made:
Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabb'd;
And as he pluck'd his cursed steel away,
Mark how the blood of Caesar follow'd it,
As rushing out of doors, to be resolved
If Brutus so unkindly knock'd, or no;
For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel:
Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!
This was the most unkindest cut of all;
For when the NOBLE Caesar saw him stab,
Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms,
Quite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart;
And, in his mantle muffling up his face,
Even at the base of {P(ompe)Y('s)} STATVA,
Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell.

'Tis but the fate of place, and the rough brake
That virtue must go through. We must not stint
Our necessary actions, in the fear
To cope malicious CENSURErs; which EVER,
As ravenous fishes, do a vessel follow
That is new-trimm'd, but benefit no further
Than vainly longing. What we oft do best,
By sick interpreters, once weak ones, is
Not ours, or not allow'd; what worst, as oft,
Hitting a grosser quality, is cried up
For our best act. If we shall stand still,
In fear our motion WILL be mock'd or carp'd at,
We should take root here where we sit,
or sit State-STATUEs only.

Through Phrygie ran, and through the world was talking of the same.
Before hir marriage NIOBE had knowen hir VERiE well,
When yet a Maide in Meonie and Sipyle she did dwell."

Not only that. This was Thrale's brewery, owned by John
Thrale husband of Hester Lynch Thrale (née Salusbury), Mrs
Thrale (or Piozzi) of Boswell's Life. She was a direct
descendant of Sir John Salusbury, dedicatee of 'The Phoenix
and the Turtle'; her father had been a friend of artist
William Hogarth.
When John Thrale died, Johnson was one of his executors. So
he was responsible for running the brewery until it was sold
(since Hester did not want to keep it on).
'We are not here to sell a parcel of boilers and vats, but
the potentiality of growing rich, beyond the dreams of
avarice.' (Boswell's Life, quoting Lord Lucan, 12 April
1781.) Boswell thinks it funny, but who has seen a better
explanation of 'goodwill' or one more attractive to a
potential purchaser? The executors got 135,000 pounds for
it.
The buyers were a management buy-out team, the brewery chief
clerk (Perkins) and the Scottish banker Barclay. In the 18th
century, unlike now, the banker took equity. The chief clerk
was the top administrative executive, perhaps equivalent to
today's Financial Director or CFO. So the firm became
Barclay Perkins, later after other transactions (1955)
Courage and Barclay.
