OK, Tom, Arthur Golding is a good place to start, i.e. with
Metamorphoses III, Echo and Narcissus. Written in good old
fourteeners. Utilize the large hint I gave you previously on the
bard's Sonnets and see if you can recognize and associate the self-
lover of the Sonnets. Gaze into them deeply and see what inspired the
bard. Of course the bard was only three years old, in 1567, when
Metamorphoses was published but he caught up when he grew up to up-
preciate the stories when he was a teen-ager. Enjoy the self-lover,
'amour-propre, selbsteliebe, egoismo,' whatever language suits your
love of Shakespeare.
Don't give up, stay with it. After all those reprints of the sonnets
you have presented, something relative is bound to turn up. And lend
the bard your talent and speak for him to tell his narcissistic tale,
"a liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass," as he told us in the
Sonnets. And you can parse them without ever mentioning Edward de Vere.
