Shakespeare scholars unite to see off claims of the 'Bard deniers'
by Dalya Alberge, The Observer, Saturday 30 March 2013
<<David Kathman, an independent scholar, writes on Shakespeare
and Warwickshire, showing how the works are "peppered" with
signs that the author came from around Stratford, pointing to
local dialect words such as *BATLET* , a paddle to beat laundry.>>

. As You Like It Act 2, Scene 4 (modern)
TOUCHSTONE: And I mine. I remember, when I was in love
. I broke my sword upon a stone and bid him take that for
. *coming a-NIGHT* to *JANE Smile* ; and I remember the
. kissing of *HER BATLET* and the cow's dugs that her
. pretty chopt hands had milked; and I remember the
. wooing of a peascod instead of her, from whom
. I took two cods and, giving her them again, said with
. weeping *TEARS* 'Wear these for my sake.' We that are
. *TRUE lovers* run into *STRANGE capers*; but as all is
. mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.

<<Alice Spencer, Countess of Derby (4 May 1559 – 23 January 1637)
was an aristocratic English woman, and a noted patron of the arts.
Edmund [SPENS]er represented her as "A(maryl)LIS" in his
pastoral poem Colin Clouts Come Home Againe and dedicated his
*The TEARES of the Muses* to her. Her first husband was
Ferdinando Stanley, Lord *STRANGE* , a claimant to the English
throne. Alice's eldest daughter, Anne Stanley, Countess of
Castlehaven was *HEIR* presumptive to Queen Elizabeth I.>>

1579: Dedication to Oxford in the only edition of
Geoffrey Gates' The Defence of Militarie profession.
. TO THE RIGHT honorable, Edward de \VERE\, Earle of
. Oxenford, [VICOUNT] Bulbecke, Lod of Escales
. and Baldesmere, and Lord great Chamberlaine of England.
. The experience of troublesome furies of men founded Armes, and
aduanuced Militarie profession, for the repressing and restraining
of the tyrannes and noyfull m{ALICE} of the wicked. The experience of
the profit and value of lawe and armes, maketh al prudent states and
commonwelths, to embrace and to vphold them both with much care and
endeuour. So to conclude, experience is the ordinarie companion and
naturall ornament of reason, which maketh men wise in knowledge, &
prudent in the direction and vse of things. He therefore that
iudgeth or directeth against experience, i(S) not in deede a man,
but *A FOOLE MORE ign(O)rant THAN A BEAST* .
The experience of o(T)her mens harmes, warneth the *WISE*
to b(E)ware. The experience of forren euill(S), warneth England
to waken it selfe ou(T) of securitie, and to be watchfull,
and *WISEly* to take it selfe. Experience hath taug[H]t me
[T]o lo[U]e an[D] to h[O]nou[R] armes, and in the zeale of good heart
to couet the aduancement of martial occupation, which made me (an
vnletter man) to take vnto me a notarie to sette downe in writing
this drift in the defence and praise of warlike prowesse, against
al contemners of the same: for the benefite and encouragement of
my countrie & countrimen. And finally, the experience of the high
noblenes & honour of you, my singular good Lord, doth enbolden me (in
the loue of a faithful hart, to your renoumed VER(tu)Es) most humbly
to commend this litle work to your honorable protection, that vnder
the shielde of your noble favour and iudgement, it may stande in grace
before our nation, to some good effect. God graunt it. To whom be
praise, & to your good Lordhippe, abundaunce of heauenly graces,
and fatherly blessings, euen to *EUERlasting* life.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Churchyard
<<Thomas {CHURCH-YARD} (c. 1520 – 1604), English author, was born
at *Shrewsbury* , the son of a farmer. In 1564 {CHURCH-YARD} served
in Ireland under Sir Henry [SIDNEY]. The religious disturbances in
the Netherlands attracted him to Antwerp, where, as the agent of
William of Orange, he allowed the insurgents to place him at their
head, and was able to save much property from destruction.
This action made him so hated by the mob that he had
to fly for his life *in the disguise of a priest*.
In the next year he was sent by the *earl of Oxford* to serve
definitely under the prince of Orange. After a year's service he
obtained leave to return to England, and after many adventures and
narrow escapes in a journey through hostile territory he embarked for
Guernsey, and thence for England. His patron, *Lord Oxford*, disowned
him, and the poet, whose health was failing, retired to Bath. He
appears to have made a very unhappy marriage at this time, and
returned to the Low Countries. Falling into the hands of the Spaniards
he was recognized as having had a hand in the Antwerp disturbance,
and was under sentence to be executed as a (SPY) when he was
*saved by the intervention of a NOBLE LADY*.>>

Let me not to the marriage of *TRUE* minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an *EVER-fixed* mark
That (L)o(O)k[S] o[N] t[E]m[P]e[S]ts and is *nEVER SHAKEn* ;
It is the star to *EVERy* wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I *nEVER* writ, nor no man *EVER* loved.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Spencer
<<(ALICE) Spencer, Countess of Derby (4 May 1559 – 23 January 1637)
was an English noblewoman and noted patron of the arts. Alice was born
in Althorpe, Northamptonshire, England on *4 May* 1559, the youngest
daughter of Sir John Spencer, Member of Parliament and High Sheriff
of Northamptonshire, and Katherine Kytson. She had three brothers
and three older sisters. Poet Edmund Spenser represented her as
"Amaryllis" in his eclogue Colin Clouts Come Home Againe (1595) and
dedicated his poem The Teares of the Muses (1591) to her. Her first
husband was Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby, a claimant to
the English throne. Alice's eldest daughter, Anne Stanley, Countess
of Castlehaven, was heiress presumptive to Queen Elizabeth I.
She married secondly in 1600 Thomas Egerton, 1st Viscount Brackley.
In about 1579 Alice married her first husband, Ferdinando Stanley,
heir to the Earldom of Derby, and a claimant to the English throne.
His mother, Lady Margaret Clifford, was *HEIR* presumptive to Queen
Elizabeth I from 1578 until her death in 1596. On 25 September 1593,
he succeeded as Earl of Derby & Lord of Mann; from that date
onwards, Alice was styled as the Countess of Derby.
Together Ferdinando and Alice had *three daughters* :
1) Lady Anne Stanley (May 1580 – c. October 1647), married
firstly Grey Brydges, 5th Baron *Chandos* of Sudeley,
by whom she had issue;secondly Mervyn Tuchet,
2nd Earl of Castlehaven, by whom she had issue.
2) Lady Frances Stanley (1 May 1583 – 11 March 1636), married
John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, by whom she had issue.
3) Lady Elizabeth Stanley (6 January 1588 – 20 January 1633), married
Henry Hastings, 5th Earl of Huntingdon, by whom she had issue.
Her husband died on 16 April 1594, and when his mother died two years
later, Alice's eldest daughter, Anne became heiress presumptive to
Queen Elizabeth I. Upon the Queen's death in 1603, however, the crown
passed to King James VI of Scotland who was descended from Margaret
Tudor, the elder sister of King Henry VIII, whereas the Stanleys
were descended from his younger sister, Mary Tudor, Queen of France.
For a month after his death, his company of players performed at
their home of Lathom House, Lancashire as The Countess of Derby's
Men. They had been at Lathom House shortly before the Earl's death
and had been known then as the Earl of Derby's Men.
On 20 October 1600 she married her 2nd husband Thomas Egerton,
1st Viscount Brackley, who on 21 July 1603 became
Baron Ellesmere, and on 7 November 1616 Viscount Brackley.
Less than two years after his own marriage to Alice,
Thomas's son John (by his first wife, Elizabeth Ravenscroft)
married Alice's second eldest daughter Lady Frances.
Together Alice and her new husband founded the Bridgewater Library.
In 1601, Thomas Egerton bought Harefield Place in Middlesex, and in
July 1602, the Queen was entertained at Harefield by the Egertons.
Lady Alice had Haydon Hall in Eastcote built in 1630 after she became
concerned that Lord Castlehaven would attempt to claim her estate in
the event of her death. After she died in 1636, her eldest daughter
reverted to her first married name, Lady Chandos, and became owner
of the house. Alice was known as the Dowager Countess of Derby.
Alice was a noted patron of the arts, along with her sisters, Anne,
Baroness MountEAGLE & Elizabeth Spencer, Baroness Hunsdon. Poet
Edmund Spenser was a distant relative of hers; in his pastoral poem,
Colin Clouts Come Home Againe, he represented her as "Amaryllis",
whereas her sisters, Anne and Elizabeth were "Charillis"
and "Phyllis", and Alice's husband was "Amyntas".
"Amaryllis" was described as "the highest in degree".>>

<<At the end of the 2nd chapter of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:
"There was a Duck, and a Dodo, a Lory and an EAGLEt". The Duck is
Canon Duckworth, the friend that went with them on the boat trip,
Lorina is the *LORY* and Edith the EAGLEt. Dodo was
Charles Dodgson, who had a slight stutter which
made him sometimes give his name as 'Do-do-Dodgson'.>>
.......................................................
"The first question of course was, how to get dry again: they had
a consultation about this, and after a few minutes it seemed quite
natural to Alice to find herself talking familiarly with them, as
if she had known them all her life. Indeed, she had quite a long
argument with the *LORY*, who at last turned sulky, and would only
say, `I am older than you, and must know better'; and this Alice
would not allow without knowing how old it was, and, as the *LORY*
positively refused to tell its age, there was no more to be said."

THE LORD CHANCELLOR Ellesmere (1596-1617)
<<The chancelor's Court of Chancery was originally set up as a
tribunal to decide cases not served by the common law.
When it granted relief against judgements of common law in 1616, a
conflict with Ellesmere's antagonist, Sir Edward
Coke, chief justince of the King's Bench, ensued and was resolved only
by the King's decision in favour of equity
(EARL of OXFORD's case). Thereafter the equitable jurisdiction of the
Court of Chancery was unquestioned.>> - Encyclopedia Brittanica.

'Daphnaïda' An Elegy (1596, Edmund Spenser)
. For I will walke this wandring pilgrimage,
. Throughout the world from one to other end,
. And in affliction wast my better age:
.
. *My BREAD shall be the anguish of my mind* ,
. My drink the *TEARES* which fro mine eyed do raine,
. My bed the ground that hardest I may finde;
. So will I wilfully increase my paine.
Three years later Edmund [SPENS]er "died in *WANT of BREAD* "
His fellow poets "vied with each other in Elegiac
tributes to his memory" and threw their verses into
his grave along with the [PENS] that wrote them.

“I could not get one bit of *BREAD*
Whereby my hunger might be fed. ...
So, weary of my life, at length

<<Ogburn quotes an account of [SPENS]er's funeral in which [SPENS]er's
fellow poets "vied with each other in Elegiac tributes to his memory"
and threw their verses into his grave along with the [PENS] that wrote
them. In fact, no contemporary account of [SPENS]er's funeral exists;
the story Ogburn quotes comes from the third volume of William
Camden's Annales, which was not published until 1627,
28 years after [SPENS]er's death.>> - David Kathman
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I haven't seen any references to Shakespeare being among
the mourners at [SPENS]er's funeral, that I can recall.
But Clara Longworth de Chambrun states;
"...Shakespeare reached the end of the century whose last years
were saddened for the world of letters by the tragic death
of the author of The Faerie Queene.
... "Edmund [SPENS]er after an unlucky attempt at protestant
colonization in Ireland, had been driven out by the peasants who set
fire to his house. He lost one of his sons in the conflagration; and
came with his wife and three remaining children, to seek refuge in
London, where he died in extreme poverty. The Earl of Essex undertook
his funeral expenses, as the Queen preferred not to be associated
with a miserable end which reflected adversely upon her policy,
for rebellion grew in Ireland from day to day.
... "On January 20, 1599, the poets gathered at the modest
house where their illustrious colleague lay dead. They carried his
coffin in procession to Westminster Abbey near at hand, and deposited
it in the chapel reserved for famous men of letters. His tomb was
placed next to that of Chaucer, and each poet with head inclined
dropped on it a symbolic scroll to which a quill was attached.
The historian William Camden wrote an account of the funeral.
..."The identity of the eight poets who carried [SPENS]er's coffin to
his burial in Westminster Abbey, is revealed by the historian, who was
an eye-witness of the ceremony. Camden, moreover, declares that they
are the most distinguished authors of his time, and those whom future
Sages will be compelled to admire: "Samuel Daniel, Hugh Holland,
Ben Jonson, Tho. Campion, Mich Drayton, George Chapman,
John Marston and William Shakespeare."
.. "A few years later, Sir Francis Beaumont
. was interred beside [SPENS]er."
It seems odd, indeed, if Shakespeare is mentioned by Camden as
being one of the eight distinguished English poets who mourned
at [SPENS]er's funeral, that this is not mentioned by other
Shakespearean scholars.>>

An Execration upon Vulcan. by Ben Jonson
.............................................
ANd why to me this, thou lame Lord of Fire,
What had I done that might call on thine Ire?
Or urge thy greedy Flame, thus to devour
So many my Years-labours in an hour?
I ne're attempted Vulcan 'gainst thy Life;
Nor made least Line of Love to thy loose Wife;
Or in remembrance of thy afront, and scorn
With Clowns, and Tradesmen, kept thee clos'd in Horn.
'Twas Jupiter that hurl'd thee headlong down,
And Mars, that gave thee a Lanthorn for a Crown:
Was it because thou wert of old denied
By Jove to have Minerva for thy Bride.
That since thou tak'st all envious care and pain,
To ruine any Issue of the Brain?
Had I wrote Treason there, or Heresie,
Imposture, Whitchcraft, Charms, or Blasphemy?
I had deserv'd then, thy consuming Looks,
Perhaps, to have been *BURNED WITH MY BOOKS* .
But, on thy M[ALICE], tell me, didst thou spy
Any, least loose, or surrile Paper, lye
Conceal'd, or kept there, that was fit to be,
By thy own Vote, a Sacrifice to thee?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Churchyard
<<Thomas {CHURCH-YARD} (c. 1520 – 1604), English author, was born
at *Shrewsbury* , the son of a farmer. In 1564 {CHURCH-YARD} served
in Ireland under Sir Henry [SIDNEY]. The religious disturbances in
the Netherlands attracted him to Antwerp, where, as the agent of
William of Orange, he allowed the insurgents to place him at their
head, and was able to save much property from destruction.
This action made him so hated by the mob that he had
to fly for his life *in the disguise of a priest*.
In the next year he was sent by the *earl of Oxford* to serve
definitely under the prince of Orange. After a year's service he
obtained leave to return to England, and after many adventures and
narrow escapes in a journey through hostile territory he embarked for
Guernsey, and thence for England. His patron, *Lord Oxford*, disowned
him, and the poet, whose health was failing, retired to Bath. He
appears to have made a very unhappy marriage at this time, and
returned to the Low Countries. Falling into the hands of the Spaniards
he was recognized as having had a hand in the Antwerp disturbance,
and was under sentence to be executed as a (SPY) when he was
*saved by the intervention of a NOBLE LADY*.>>

Let me not to the marriage of *TRUE* minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an *EVER-fixed* mark
That (L)o(O)k[S] o[N] t[E]m[P]e[S]ts and is *nEVER SHAKEn* ;
It is the star to *EVERy* wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I *nEVER* writ, nor no man *EVER* loved.

and three older sisters. Poet Edmund Spenser represented her as
"Amaryllis" in his eclogue Colin Clouts Come Home Againe (1595) and
dedicated his poem The Teares of the Muses (1591) to her. Her first
husband was Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby, a claimant to
the English throne. Alice's eldest daughter, Anne Stanley, Countess
of Castlehaven, was heiress presumptive to Queen Elizabeth I.
She married secondly in 1600 Thomas Egerton, 1st Viscount Brackley.
In about 1579 Alice married her first husband, Ferdinando Stanley,
heir to the Earldom of Derby, and a claimant to the English throne.
His mother, Lady Margaret Clifford, was *HEIR* presumptive to Queen
Elizabeth I from 1578 until her death in 1596. On 25 September 1593,
he succeeded as Earl of Derby & Lord of Mann; from that date
onwards, Alice was styled as the Countess of Derby.
Together Ferdinando and Alice had *three daughters* :
1) Lady Anne Stanley (May 1580 – c. October 1647), married
firstly Grey Brydges, 5th Baron *Chandos* of Sudeley,
by whom she had issue;secondly Mervyn Tuchet,
2nd Earl of Castlehaven, by whom she had issue.
2) Lady Frances Stanley (1 May 1583 – 11 March 1636), married
John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, by whom she had issue.
3) Lady Elizabeth Stanley (6 January 1588 – 20 January 1633), married
Henry Hastings, 5th Earl of Huntingdon, by whom she had issue.
Her husband died on 16 April 1594, and when his mother died two years
later, Alice's eldest daughter, Anne became heiress presumptive to
Queen Elizabeth I. Upon the Queen's death in 1603, however, the crown
passed to King James VI of Scotland who was descended from Margaret
Tudor, the elder sister of King Henry VIII, whereas the Stanleys
were descended from his younger sister, Mary Tudor, Queen of France.
For a month after his death, his company of players performed at
their home of Lathom House, Lancashire as The Countess of Derby's
Men. They had been at Lathom House shortly before the Earl's death
and had been known then as the Earl of Derby's Men.
On 20 October 1600 she married her 2nd husband Thomas Egerton,
1st Viscount Brackley, who on 21 July 1603 became
Baron Ellesmere, and on 7 November 1616 Viscount Brackley.
Less than two years after his own marriage to Alice,
Thomas's son John (by his first wife, Elizabeth Ravenscroft)
married Alice's second eldest daughter Lady Frances.
Together Alice and her new husband founded the Bridgewater Library.
In 1601, Thomas Egerton bought Harefield Place in Middlesex, and in
July 1602, the Queen was entertained at Harefield by the Egertons.
Lady Alice had Haydon Hall in Eastcote built in 1630 after she became
concerned that Lord Castlehaven would attempt to claim her estate in
the event of her death. After she died in 1636, her eldest daughter
reverted to her first married name, Lady Chandos, and became owner
of the house. Alice was known as the Dowager Countess of Derby.
Alice was a noted patron of the arts, along with her sisters, Anne,
Baroness MountEAGLE & Elizabeth Spencer, Baroness Hunsdon. Poet
Edmund Spenser was a distant relative of hers; in his pastoral poem,
Colin Clouts Come Home Againe, he represented her as "Amaryllis",
whereas her sisters, Anne and Elizabeth were "Charillis"
and "Phyllis", and Alice's husband was "Amyntas".
"Amaryllis" was described as "the highest in degree".>>

"There was a Duck, and a Dodo, a Lory and an EAGLEt". The Duck is
Canon Duckworth, the friend that went with them on the boat trip,
Lorina is the *LORY* and Edith the EAGLEt. Dodo was
Charles Dodgson, who had a slight stutter which
made him sometimes give his name as 'Do-do-Dodgson'.>>
.......................................................
"The first question of course was, how to get dry again: they had
a consultation about this, and after a few minutes it seemed quite
natural to Alice to find herself talking familiarly with them, as
if she had known them all her life. Indeed, she had quite a long
argument with the *LORY*, who at last turned sulky, and would only
say, `I am older than you, and must know better'; and this Alice
would not allow without knowing how old it was, and, as the *LORY*
positively refused to tell its age, there was no more to be said."

1) Francis Bacon (1618-1621): "I acknowlegdge the sentence just,
and for reformation's sake fit, the justest CHANCELLOR that
hath been in the five changes since Sir Nicolas Bacon's time."
2) Thomas Wriothesley (1544-1550) 1st Earl of Southampton

Chancellor: This is too much; Forbear, for shame, my lords.
GARDINER: I have done.
CROMWELL: And I.
Chancellor: Then thus for you, my lord: it stands agreed,
. I take it, by all voices, that forthwith
. You be convey'd to the Tower a prisoner;

THE LORD CHANCELLOR Ellesmere (1596-1617)
<<The chancelor's Court of Chancery was originally set up as a
tribunal to decide cases not served by the common law.
When it granted relief against judgements of common law in 1616, a
conflict with Ellesmere's antagonist, Sir Edward
Coke, chief justince of the King's Bench, ensued and was resolved only
by the King's decision in favour of equity
(EARL of OXFORD's case). Thereafter the equitable jurisdiction of the
Court of Chancery was unquestioned.>> - Encyclopedia Brittanica.

'Daphnaïda' An Elegy (1596, Edmund Spenser)
. For I will walke this wandring pilgrimage,
. Throughout the world from one to other end,
. And in affliction wast my better age:
.
. *My BREAD shall be the anguish of my mind* ,
. My drink the *TEARES* which fro mine eyed do raine,
. My bed the ground that hardest I may finde;
. So will I wilfully increase my paine.
Three years later Edmund [SPENS]er "died in *WANT of BREAD* "
His fellow poets "vied with each other in Elegiac
tributes to his memory" and threw their verses into
his grave along with the [PENS] that wrote them.

“I could not get one bit of *BREAD*
Whereby my hunger might be fed. ...
So, weary of my life, at length
I yielded up my vital strength
Within a *DITCH* ... which since that day

<<Ogburn quotes an account of [SPENS]er's funeral in which [SPENS]er's
fellow poets "vied with each other in Elegiac tributes to his memory"
and threw their verses into his grave along with the [PENS] that wrote

the story Ogburn quotes comes from the third volume of William
Camden's Annales, which was not published until 1627,
28 years after [SPENS]er's death.>> - David Kathman
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I haven't seen any references to Shakespeare being among
the mourners at [SPENS]er's funeral, that I can recall.
But Clara Longworth de Chambrun states;
"...Shakespeare reached the end of the century whose last years
were saddened for the world of letters by the tragic death
of the author of The Faerie Queene.
... "Edmund [SPENS]er after an unlucky attempt at protestant
colonization in Ireland, had been driven out by the peasants who set
fire to his house. He lost one of his sons in the conflagration; and
came with his wife and three remaining children, to seek refuge in
London, where he died in extreme poverty. The Earl of Essex undertook
his funeral expenses, as the Queen preferred not to be associated
with a miserable end which reflected adversely upon her policy,
for rebellion grew in Ireland from day to day.
... "On January 20, 1599, the poets gathered at the modest
house where their illustrious colleague lay dead. They carried his
coffin in procession to Westminster Abbey near at hand, and deposited
it in the chapel reserved for famous men of letters. His tomb was
placed next to that of Chaucer, and each poet with head inclined
dropped on it a symbolic scroll to which a quill was attached.
The historian William Camden wrote an account of the funeral.
..."The identity of the eight poets who carried [SPENS]er's coffin to
his burial in Westminster Abbey, is revealed by the historian, who was
an eye-witness of the ceremony. Camden, moreover, declares that they
are the most distinguished authors of his time, and those whom future
Sages will be compelled to admire: "Samuel Daniel, Hugh Holland,
Ben Jonson, Tho. Campion, Mich Drayton, George Chapman,
John Marston and William Shakespeare."
.. "A few years later, Sir Francis Beaumont
. was interred beside [SPENS]er."
It seems odd, indeed, if Shakespeare is mentioned by Camden as
being one of the eight distinguished English poets who mourned
at [SPENS]er's funeral, that this is not mentioned by other
Shakespearean scholars.>>

ANd why to me this, thou lame Lord of Fire,
What had I done that might call on thine Ire?
Or urge thy greedy Flame, thus to devour
So many my Years-labours in an hour?
I ne're attempted Vulcan 'gainst thy Life;
Nor made least Line of Love to thy loose Wife;
Or in remembrance of thy afront, and scorn
With Clowns, and Tradesmen, kept thee clos'd in Horn.
'Twas Jupiter that hurl'd thee headlong down,
And Mars, that gave thee a Lanthorn for a Crown:
Was it because thou wert of old denied
By Jove to have Minerva for thy Bride.
That since thou tak'st all envious care and pain,
To ruine any Issue of the Brain?
Had I wrote Treason there, or Heresie,
Imposture, Whitchcraft, Charms, or Blasphemy?
I had deserv'd then, thy consuming Looks,
Perhaps, to have been *BURNED WITH MY BOOKS* .
But, on thy M[ALICE], tell me, didst thou spy

Conceal'd, or kept there, that was fit to be,
By thy own Vote, a Sacrifice to thee?
