"THOMAS DEKKER (or DECKER) (c. 1570-1641). 1911 Encyclopedia.
http://30.1911encyclopedia.org/D/DE/DEKKER_or_DECKER_THOMAS.htm
.
THOMAS DECKER, English dramatist, was born in London.
His name occurs frequently in Henslowes Diary during the last
3 years of the 16th century; he is mentioned there as receiving
loans & payments for writing plays in conjunction with Ben Jonson,
Drayton, Chettle, Haughton, Wilson, Day & others, and he would appear
to have been then in the most active employment as a playwright. The
titles of the plays on which he was engaged from April 1599 to March
1599/1600 are Troilus and Cressida, Orestes Fures, Agamemnon, The Gentle
Craft, The Stepmothers Tragedy, Bear a Brain, Pagge of Plymouth, Robert
the Second, *The wholl history of fortewnatus* , Patient Grissel, Truths
Supplication to Candlelight, The Spanish Moors Tragedy, The Seven Wise
Masters. At that date it is evident that Deckers services were in great
request for the stage. He is first mentioned in the Diary under date 8th
of January 1597/1598, as having sold a book, i.e. the manuscript of a
play; the payments in 1599 are generally made in advance, in earnest
of work to be done. In the case of three of the above plays, Orestes
Fures, Truths Supplication and The Gentle Craft, Decker is paid as the
sole author. Only The Gentle Craft has been preserved; it was published
anonymously in 1600 under the title of The Shoemakers Holiday.>>

4-letter Words Hidden in the Dedication of Shakespeare's Sonnets
2608u : {LETO}
....................................................
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leto
<<When Hera discovered that {LETO} was pregnant and that Zeus was the father, she realized that the offspring would cement the new order. Hera banned {LETO} from
giving birth on "terra firma." {LETO} found the barren floating island of Delos which was neither mainland nor a real island, and gave birth there. The island was
surrounded by swans. As a gesture of gratitude, Delos was secured with four pillars.>>

(1584) Foure Epytaphes, made by the Countes of Oxenford,
after the death of her young Sonne, the Lord Bulbecke, &c.

. And well though mine eies run downe like fountaines here
. The STONE WIL not speak yet, that doth it inclose.

NIOBE was turned to stone {by LETO's kids} yet EVER WEEPING;
Ovid, particularly X, lines 303-331. The stone refers back
to the marble of the child and is also his monument.

<<Christopher Brooke, above mentioned, was partner with Browne
in Elegies on the death of Henry Prince of Wales, 4to, 1613;
but in 1614 he published a separate poem of great merit,
entitled, The Ghost of Richard the Third.
The dedication to Sir John Crompton is only subscribed C. B.,
but there can be no hesitation in assigning those initials
to Christopher Brooke, whose production was ushered by
commendatory verses from several eminent poets of the day,
viz., George Chapman, W. Browne, (whose name might of course be
looked for,) George Wither, Robert Daborne, & Ben Jonson. Only
two copies of it are, we believe, in existence, but its interest
and importance may at once be established by the following stanzas,
directly referring to Shakspeare and to his popular tragedy,
put into the mouth of Richard's Ghost:--
.........................................
To him that *IMPT MY FAME* with Clio's quill,
Whose magick *RAIS'D ME* from Oblivion's den,
That writ my storie on the Muses' hill,
And with my actions dignifi'd his pen;
He that from *HELICON* sends many a [R]ill,
Whose nectar[E]d veines are drun[K]e by thirstie men,
[C]rown'd be his stil[E] with fame, his hea[D] with bayes,
And none detract, but gratulate his praise!

of John Warburton (1682-1759) who had amassed a fine collection of 58
1st edition plays, including most of the works of Shakespeare. One day
Warburton returned home to find 55 of them charred beyond legibility.

Many are the only surviving coPIES of plays that had never been

his servant, Betsy Baker, made use of them to light her stove

to p{R|E]s[E]nt to {Y|O|U|R] view {S|o]m[E] exce[L|L]ent and
sweetely composed Poems, of Master William Shakespeare, Which
in themselves appeare of the same purity, the Authour himselfe
then living avouched ; they had not the fortune by reason of
their Infancie in his death to have the due accomodatio of
proportionable glory with the rest of hi[S EVER-LIVIN(g) WOR]-
kes, yet the lines of themselves WILL afFORD you a more
authentick approbation than my assurance any way can, to invite
your allowance, in your perusall you shall find them Seren, cleere
and eligantly plaine, such gentle straines as shall recreate and
not perplexe your braine, no intricate or cloudy stuffe to puzzell
intellect, but perfect eloquence ; such as will raise your
admiration to his praise: this assurance I know will not differ from
your acknowledgment. And certaine I am, my opinion will be seconded
by the sufficiency of these *ENSUING* lines ; I have beene somewhat
solicitus to *BRING this FORTH* to the perfect view of all men ;
and in so doing glad to be serviceable for the continuance
of glory to the *DE(s)ERVEd Author* in these his Poems.

"THOMAS DEKKER (or DECKER) (c. 1570-1641). 1911 Encyclopedia.
http://30.1911encyclopedia.org/D/DE/DEKKER_or_DECKER_THOMAS.htm
.
THOMAS DECKER, English dramatist, was born in London.
His name occurs frequently in Henslowes Diary during the last
3 years of the 16th century; he is mentioned there as receiving
loans & payments for writing plays in conjunction with Ben Jonson,
Drayton, Chettle, Haughton, Wilson, Day & others, and he would appear
to have been then in the most active employment as a playwright. The
titles of the plays on which he was engaged from April 1599 to March
1599/1600 are Troilus and Cressida, Orestes Fures, Agamemnon, The Gentle
Craft, The Stepmothers Tragedy, Bear a Brain, Pagge of Plymouth, Robert
the Second, *The wholl history of fortewnatus* , Patient Grissel, Truths
Supplication to Candlelight, The Spanish Moors Tragedy, The Seven Wise
Masters. At that date it is evident that Deckers services were in great
request for the stage. He is first mentioned in the Diary under date 8th
of January 1597/1598, as having sold a book, i.e. the manuscript of a
play; the payments in 1599 are generally made in advance, in earnest
of work to be done. In the case of three of the above plays, Orestes
Fures, Truths Supplication and The Gentle Craft, Decker is paid as the
sole author. Only The Gentle Craft has been preserved; it was published
anonymously in 1600 under the title of The Shoemakers Holiday.>>

<<When Hera discovered that {LETO} was pregnant and that Zeus was the father, she realized that the offspring would cement the new order. Hera banned {LETO} from
giving birth on "terra firma." {LETO} found the barren floating island of Delos which was neither mainland nor a real island, and gave birth there. The island was
surrounded by swans. As a gesture of gratitude, Delos was secured with four pillars.>>

<<Christopher Brooke, above mentioned, was partner with Browne
in Elegies on the death of Henry Prince of Wales, 4to, 1613;
but in 1614 he published a separate poem of great merit,
entitled, The Ghost of Richard the Third.
The dedication to Sir John Crompton is only subscribed C. B.,
but there can be no hesitation in assigning those initials
to Christopher Brooke, whose production was ushered by
commendatory verses from several eminent poets of the day,
viz., George Chapman, W. Browne, (whose name might of course be
looked for,) George Wither, Robert Daborne, & Ben Jonson. Only
two copies of it are, we believe, in existence, but its interest
and importance may at once be established by the following stanzas,
directly referring to Shakspeare and to his popular tragedy,
put into the mouth of Richard's Ghost:--
.........................................
To him that *IMPT MY FAME* with Clio's quill,
Whose magick *RAIS'D ME* from Oblivion's den,
That writ my storie on the Muses' hill,
And with my actions dignifi'd his pen;
He that from *HELICON* sends many a [R]ill,
Whose nectar[E]d veines are drun[K]e by thirstie men,
[C]rown'd be his stil[E] with fame, his hea[D] with bayes,
And none detract, but gratulate his praise!

<<The Least Successful Collector Betsy Baker played a central role in
the history of collecting. She was employed as a servant in the house
of John Warburton (1682-1759) who had amassed a fine collection of 58
1st edition plays, including most of the works of Shakespeare. One day
Warburton returned home to find 55 of them charred beyond legibility.
Betsy had either burned them or used them as <PIE> bottoms. The
remaining 3 folios are now in the British Museum.>> - Stephen PI(l)E

[NOTE- some 60 manuscripts of plays of this period eventually come
into the hands of a collector named John Warburton* (1682-1759).
.
Many are the only surviving coPIES of plays that had never been
printed. Unfortunately Warburton was careless with them and
his servant, Betsy Baker, made use of them to light her stove
and line the bottom of <PIES>. In the end only three survived.
The surviving plays are the work of *DECKER* , Ford & Massinger.]>>

stronghold ... to Timur the Lame ("Tamurlane",) in 1402,
were establishing a new base at Bodrum, the site of the ancient
Halicarnassus and its famous Mausoleum, stone from which was used
in the construction of the Christian fortress dedicated to St. Peter.

as the English Tower, 26 coats of arms were set up in stone,
including Burleigh, STRANGE, Arundel, MONTAGUE, Stafford, DE VERE,>>
