soul is unimpeded, and has therefore the attribute of EVER FLOWING

<<The de VERES were an ancient dynastic family seated at their
ancestral village of VER (from which they took their name), near
Bayeaux and the River VIRE, in MANCHE on the NORMANdy coast of
present-day northern France. The name of the town itself came
from the "VER," a Norse word meaning "fishdam" that the Vikings
had introduced into NORMANdy, and etymologically akin to
the Old English word "weir" meaning a "fish dam,"
and originally spelled both "Wier" & "Wear" also,
hence the diverse spellings of the FAMILY name.>>

DaEDALUS WAS SO ENVIOUS of his nephew [TALOS]'s performances
that he took an opportunity, when they were together one day
on the top of a high tower to push him off. But Minerva, who
favours ingenuity, saw him falling, and *arrested his FATE* by
changing him into a bird called after his name, the Partridge (or
LAPWING). This bird does not build his nest in the trees, nor take
lofty flights, but nestles in the HEDGES, and avoids high places.>>

sweetely composed Poems, of Master William Shakespeare, Which

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 his *EVER-living* Workes, 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 *DEsERVEd Author* in these his Poems.

King of Shreds and Patches
An Examination of the Alleged Credentials of Sir Edward Dyer
as the "Great Reviser" of the Shakespearean Works
Copyright 1943 by Charles Wisner Barrell
First published in The Shakespeare Fellowship News-Letter, April
1943.
.
<<In 1597 Sidney's beloved sister, {MARY Sidney} the
Countess of Pembroke, tried to bring about a marriage
between Oxford's daughter, Bridget Vere, and
her eldest son, William Herbert, later Earl of Pembroke;
while Oxford's youngest daughter, Susan, did become
the wife of Philip Herbert, Earl of Montgomery, the nephew
and namesake of the same Sir Philip Sidney that Alden
Brooks declares Lord Oxford seriously plotted to "murder."
It is hardly necessary to point out the fact that Shakespeare's
First Folio is dedicated to these two "incomparable brethren"
— one of whom was the poet Earl of Oxford's son-in-law.>>

John Sincklo (or Sinclo, or Sincler) was a player with *PEMBROKE’s
Men* in 1592. By 1598 he was acting with the Lord Chamberlain’s
Men. Sincklo was apparently very thin, and his roles seem
to have included Slender in The Merry Wives of Windsor.
His acting career seems to have lasted from 1592 until 1604.>>
