It obviously must have meant something to somebody.

*ESMÉ STEWART D(arnley) WIKE* ?
--------------------------------------------
*WIKE*: A home; a dwelling. (A.S.)
--------------------------------------------
*ESMÉ*: First recorded as a male given name
in Scotland in the 16th century,
. probably from French esmé "esteemed"
--------------------------------------------
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Stuart

<<The House of *STEWART*, or Stuart, is a European royal house.
Founded by Robert II of Scotland, the Stewarts first became monarchs
of the Kingdom of Scotland during the late 14th century, and
subsequently held the position of the Kings of England, Ireland, and
Great Britain. Their patrilineal ancestors (from Brittany) had held
the office of High Steward of Scotland since the 12th century, after
arriving by way of Norman England. The dynasty inherited further
territory by the 17th century which covered the entire British Isles,
including the Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Ireland, also
maintaining a claim to the Kingdom of France.

The name Stewart derives from the political position of office similar
to a governor, known as a steward. It was originally adopted as the
family surname by Walter Stewart, 3rd High Steward of Scotland, who
was the third member of the family to hold the position. Prior to
this, family names were not used, but instead they had patronyms
defined through the father; for example the first two High Stewards
were known as FitzAlan and FitzWalter respectively. During the 16th
century the French spelling Stuart was adopted by Mary, Queen of Scots
when she was living in France. She sanctioned the change to ensure the
correct pronunciation of the Scots version of the name Stewart,
because retaining the letter 'w' would have made it difficult for
French speakers, who usually render "w" as "v". The spelling Stuart
was also used by her second husband, Henry Stuart, Lord *D(arnley)*;
he was the father of James VI and I, so the spelling Stuart
for the British royal family officially derives from him.>>

. Number there in love was slain.

. Hearts remote, yet not asunder;
. Distance, and no space was seen
. 'Twixt the turtle and his queen:
. But in them it were a wonder.

. So between them love did shine,
. That the turtle saw his right
. Flaming in the phoenix' sight;
. Either was the other's mine.

. Property was thus appalled,
. That the self was not the same;
. Single nature's double name
. Neither two nor one was called.

. Reason, in itself confounded,
. Saw division grow together,
. To themselves yet either neither,
. Simple were so well compounded,

. That it cried, How true a twain
. Seemeth this concordant one!
. Love hath reason, reason none,

The History of the Valorous &

By Miguel de Cervantes, Translated by Thomas Shelton

The Second Part

CHAPTER I: How the Vicar and the Barber passed
their Time with Don Quixote, touching his Infirmity

Most of your knights nowadays are such as rustle in their silks, their
cloth of gold and silver; and such rich stuffs as t[H]e[S]e [T]h[E]y
[W]e[A]r [R]a[T]her than mail, with which they should arm themselves.

L X V. Ben Jonson's Epigrams 65

To my Muse.

AWay, and leave me, thou thing most abhor'd
That hast betray'd me to a worthless Lord;
Made me commit most fircefierce Idolatry
To a great Image through thy Luxury.
Be thy next Masters more unlucky Muse,
And, as thou'hast mine, his Hours, and Youth abuse.
Get him the Times long grudg, the Courts ill will;
And Reconcil'd, keep him Suspected still.
Make him lose all his Friends; and, which is worse,
Almost all ways, to any better course.
With me thou leav'{S}t an happier Muse than thee,
And which {T}hou brought'st me, welcome Poverty.
Sh{E} shall in(S)truct my After-thoughts t(O) {W}rite
Things manly, and no(T) smelling P{A}rasite.
But I r(E)pent me: Stay. Who e're is {R}ai(S)'d,
For worth he has not, He is (T)ax'd, no{T} prais'd.

(M)y name is Caius Martius, who hath done
To thee particularly, (A)nd to all the Volces
Great hurt and Mischiefe: thereto witn(E)sse may
My Surname Coriolanus. The painfull Seruice,
The ex(T)reme Dangers, and the droppes of Blood

The Cruelty and Enuy of the p(E|O)ple,
Permitted by our dastard Nob(L|E)s, who

Of shame seene through thy Country, speed thee straight
And make my misery serue thy turne: So vse it,

And cannot liue but to thy shame, vnlesse
