"DROESHOUT" <=> "HERODOTUS" (Father of Lies)
---------------------------------------------------------
1) Notice the remarkable similarity between Droeshout's
First Folio Shakespeare portrait and the
Henry Wriothesley (Southampton) "CaT" portrait
(p. 130 in Michell's _Who Wrote Shakespeare?_).
CaT = (C)ome/diES :-)
(a)nd
(T)rage/diES :-(
2) Notice the remarkable similarity between the present
Stratford bust of William Shakespeare and the
Henry Wriothesley (Southampton) "HELMet" portrait
(p. 54 in F.E. Halliday's _Shakespeare_ or
p. 330 in Ogburn's _The Mysterious William Shakespeare_).

_wilHELM(et) Meister's Apprenticeship and Travels_
<<The show being ended, the Prince in token of satisfaction invested the
Ambassador and twenty-four of his retinue,
with the Collar of the KNIGHTHOOD of the HELMET;
upon which the King-at-Arms, -- having first declared how the Prince
had instituted this Order in memory of the arms he bore, which were
given to one of his ancestors for saving the life of the then sovereign,
"in regard that as the helmet defendeth the chiefest part of the body,
the head, so did he then defend the head of the state," -- proceeded to
read the articles of the Order; which they were all to vow to keep, each
kissing the helmet as he took his vow.>>

"Ben Jonson's" _To The Reader_
T his figure,that THOU HEre seest put,
I t was for gentle S HA.kespeare cut;
W herein the GRAVEr had a strife with nature, to out-doo the life;
Droeshout's head = 2 parts Southampton + 1 part Oxford
"EVER WRIT" in BRASSE = 2 parts Copper + 1 part Zinc ?

I.ii.266: Speak freely of OUR acts, or else OUR GRAVE,
I.ii.267: Like TURKISH MUTE, shall have a tongueless mouth,
I.ii.268: Not worshipp'd with a waxen epitaph.

_Henry VI Part 3_ ACT V.
SCENE IV. Plains wear TEWKSBURY Flourish. March.
Enter QUEEN MARGARET, PRINCE EDWARD, SOMERSET,
OXFORD, and SOLDIERS
QUEEN MARGARET Great lords, wise men ne'er sit and wail their loss,
But cheerly seek how to redress their harms.
What though the mast be now blown overboard,
The cable broke, the holding-anchor lost,
And half our sailors swallow'd in the flood?
Yet lives our pilot still. Is't meet that he
Should leave the HELM and like a fearful lad
With tearful eyes add water to the sea
And give more strength to that which hath too much,
Whiles, in his moan, the ship splits on the rock,
Which industry and courage might have saved?
Ah, what a shame! ah, what a fault were this!
Say Warwick was our anchor; what of that?
And Montague our topmost; what of him?
Our slaughter'd friends the tackles; what of these?
Why, is not Oxford here another anchor?
And Somerset another goodly mast?
The friends of France our shrouds and tacklings?
And, though unskilful, why not Ned and I
For once allow'd the skilful pilot's charge?
We will not from the HELM to sit and weep,
But keep our course, though the rough wind say no,
From shelves and rocks that threaten us with wreck.
As good to chide the waves as speak them fair.
And what is Edward but ruthless sea?
What Clarence but a quicksand of deceit?
And Richard but a ragged fatal rock [HOLM]?
All these the enemies to our poor bark.
Say you can swim; alas, 'tis but a while!
Tread on the sand; why, there you quickly sink:
Bestride the rock; the tide will wash you off,
Or else you famish; that's a threefold death.
