As You Like It was not brought out until shortly before the year
1600, so that *NASH's NOVERINT* could not have been suggested by it.

.
<<*SIR edward COKE* ("Cook") (1 Feb. 1552 – 3 Sept. 1634) was an
English jurist & Member of Parliament whose writings on the common
law were the definitive legal texts for nearly 150 years. Born into a
family of minor Norfolk gentry, Coke was eventually being appointed
Solicitor General and then Attorney General by Queen Elizabeth. As
Attorney General, Coke famously prosecuted Sir Walter Raleigh and the
Gunpowder Plot conspirators for treason. In 1606, Coke was made Chief
Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, later being elevated, in 1613,
to Lord Chief Justice of England. Despite his 1616 dismissal from the
bench, Coke remained an influential political figure, leading
parliamentary opposition to the Crown in the 1620s. His career in
parliament culminated in 1628 when he acted as one of the primary
authors of the Petition of Right. This document reaffirmed the rights
of Englishmen and prevented the Crown from infringing them. In later
times, both English reformers and American Patriots, such as John
Lilburne, James Otis, and John Adams, used Coke's writings to
support their conceptions of inviolable civil liberties.>>

Palladis Tamia. By Rev. Francis Meres

As Consaluo Periz that excellent learned man, and Secretary to King
Philip of Spayne, in translating the Ulysses of Homer out of Greeke
into Spanish, hath by good judgemen[T] avoided the faulte of Ryming,
although not fully hit perfect a[N]d TRUE versifying: so hath Henrie
Howarde that TRUE and noble E[A]rle of Surrey in translating the
fourth book of Virgils Aenea[S], whom Michael Drayton in his Englands
heroycall Epistles hat[H] eternized for an Epistle to his faire
Geraldine. As these Neot[E]rickes Jovianus Pontanus,

As Musaeus, who wrote the love of Hero and Leander, had two excellent
schollers, Thamaras and Hercules: so hath he in England two excellent
Poets, imitators of him in the same argument and [S]ubject,
Chr[I]stopher Ma[R]low and Geo[R]ge Chapman. [A]s Ovid sait[H]
of his worke;
. Jamq opus exegi, quod nec Jovis ira, nec ignis
. Nec poterit ferrum, nec edax abolere vetustas.

Concluding nine lines of Ovid's _Metamorphoses_ translated:
Now have I brought a worke to end which neither Jove's fierce wrath
Nor sword nor fire nor fretting age, with all the force it hath Are
able to abolish quite, &c.

As Antipater Sidonius was famous for extemporall verse in Greeke, and
Ovid for his Quicquid conabar dicere versus erat: so was our Tarleton,
of whome Doctour Case that learned physitian thus speaketh in the
seventh Booke, and seventeenth chapter of his Politikes; Aristoteles
suum Theodoretum laudauit quendam peritum Tragoediarum actorem; Cicero
suum Roscium: nos Angli Tarletonum, in cuius voce & vultu omnes iocosi
affectus, in cuius cerebroso capite lepidae facetiae habitant. And so
is now our wittie Wilson, who, for learning and extemporall witte in
this facultie, is without compare or compeere, as to his great and
eternall commendations he manifested in his chalenge at the SWANNE
on the Bank{E}side. As *ACHILLES* tortured the deade bodie
of Hector, a{N}d as Antonius, and his wife Fulvia
tormente[D] th[E] li[V]el{E}ss[E] co[R]ps of Cicero:
so *GABRIELL HARVEY* hath shewed th{E} same inhumanitie

.
thE WaSPS [Sphekes] (422 BC) Philonides
thE KnigHts. (424 BC) Aristophanes
thE AchARnians (425 BC) Callistratus
.
But Philonides & Callistratus were
pseudonym/front men used by Aristophanes.
.
Unfortunately, Aristophanes was unable to hide behind
a pseudonym in _The Knights_ because Aristophanes,
himself, was *forced to play the CLEON character*
(a scheming *PAPHLAGONIAN LEATHER-MONGER* )
after EVERyone else refused.
.
(We know for certain that this character was
intended to be *CLEON* because *CLEON's father*
Cleaenetus was, in fact, *A TANNER* .)
