Shakespeare and Queens'
.
<<On 1 March 1595, at the Bachelors' Commencement (what we now call
the Matriculation Dinner), the Bats' predecessors staged the most
successful production in their history, the comedy of Laelia, directed
and partly performed by two Fellows in the presence of the mighty Earl
of Essex (who stayed in the Lodge in the room which was then named the
Essex Chamber in his honour). Essex was so taken with the quality of
the performance that he arranged for the two Fellows (who, by the way,
carried on as a successful double act, first as Senior and Junior
Bursar, and later as Dean and Archbishop of York) to come down to
London and act before Queen Elizabeth herself in a 'Device' of his
own at the important festivity of Queen's Day on 17 November.
.
A second-year Queensman, John WeEVER (1576-1632), who himself had
burning literary and theatrical ambitions, was so starry-eyed at
these events that he penned the following epigram - as far as I
know, the only eye-witness account of an early Queens' production:
..................................................
In Georgium Meriton, & Georgium Mountaine
Your entertaine (nor can I passe away)
of Essex with farre-famed Laelia,
.
Nor fore the Queen you[R] service [O]n Queens [D]ay
When s[U]ch a Mais[T]er with you beareth sway,
.
How can Queenes College EVER then decay?
No. Yet Queenes College EVERmore hath beene
Is and will be, of Colleges the Queene.

Till thou sweete Sunne, didst helpe to raise her higher.
Thus since by thee, shee hath her life and sappe,
And findes her growth by thy deere cherishment,
In thy faire eie consistes her future hap:

Or may she that day-lasting Lillie be,

On worthy Master Shakespeare and his Poems.

This, and much more which cannot be express`d
But by himself[E], his [T]ong[U]e, an[D] his [O]wn b[R]est,
Was Shakespeare`s freehold; which his cunning braine
Improv`d by favour of the nine-fold traine,
The buskind Muse, the Commicke Queene, the grand
And lowder tone of Clio; nimble hand,
And nimbler foote of the melodious paire,
The silver-voyced Lady the most faire
Calliope, whose speaking silence daunts,
And she whose prayse the heavenly body chants.

. Unwilling now to grow,
. Looks like the plume a captain wears,
. Whose rified falls are steep'd i' the tears

.
Davenant specifically associates the poet Shakespeare with
the Avon river, like Jonson in his First Folio poem, and also
calls him "Master," as befitting William Shakespeare's social
position. This testimony deserves to be taken seriously, because
significant evidence indicates that William Shakespeare was a friend
of the Davenant family. William (1606-1668) used to hint that he was
Shakespeare's bastard son; several independent 17th-century sources
report that Shakespeare used to stay at the Davenants' tavern in
Oxford on his journeys between Stratford and London; William's
brother Robert Davenant personally told John Aubrey that
"Mr. William Shakespeare here gave him a hundred kisses"
during these visits.>>

what desolations he hath made in the earth.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;
he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the *SPEAR* in sunder;
he burneth the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,

The LORD of hosts is with us;

Shakespeare and Queens'
.
<<On 1 March 1595, at the Bachelors' Commencement (what we now call
the Matriculation Dinner), the Bats' predecessors staged the most
successful production in their history, the comedy of Laelia, directed
and partly performed by two Fellows in the presence of the mighty Earl
of Essex (who stayed in the Lodge in the room which was then named the
Essex Chamber in his honour). Essex was so taken with the quality of
the performance that he arranged for the two Fellows (who, by the way,
carried on as a successful double act, first as Senior and Junior
Bursar, and later as Dean and Archbishop of York) to come down to
London and act before Queen Elizabeth herself in a 'Device' of his
own at the important festivity of Queen's Day on 17 November.
.
A second-year Queensman, John WeEVER (1576-1632), who himself had
burning literary and theatrical ambitions, was so starry-eyed at
these events that he penned the following epigram - as far as I
know, the only eye-witness account of an early Queens' production:
..................................................
In Georgium Meriton, & Georgium Mountaine
Your entertaine (nor can I passe away)
of Essex with farre-famed Laelia,
.
Nor fore the Queen you[R] service [O]n Queens [D]ay
When s[U]ch a Mais[T]er with you beareth sway,
.
How can Queenes College EVER then decay?
No. Yet Queenes College EVERmore hath beene
Is and will be, of Colleges the Queene.

Or may she that day-lasting Lillie be,

This, and much more which cannot be express`d
But by himself[E], his [T]ong[U]e, an[D] his [O]wn b[R]est,
Was Shakespeare`s freehold; which his cunning braine
Improv`d by favour of the nine-fold traine,
The buskind Muse, the Commicke Queene, the grand
And lowder tone of Clio; nimble hand,
And nimbler foote of the melodious paire,
The silver-voyced Lady the most faire
Calliope, whose speaking silence daunts,
And she whose prayse the heavenly body chants.

How We Know That Shakespeare Wrote Shakespeare:
The Historical Facts by Tom Reedy and David Kathman
.
<<In 1638, Sir William Davenant's Madagascar contained the following
poem, entitled "In Remembrance of Master William Shakspeare. Ode."
.
. Beware, delighted poets, when you sing,
. To welcome nature in the early spring,
. Your numerous feet not tread
. [T]he banks of Av[O]n ; for each flo[W]'r,
. As it ne'er kn[E]w a sun or show'[R],
. Hangs there the pensive head.

. Each tree, whose thick and spreading growth hath made
. Rather a night beneath the boughs than shade,
. Unwilling now to grow,
. Looks like the plume a captain wears,
. Whose rified falls are steep'd i' the tears
. Which from his last rage flow.
.
. The piteous river wept itself away
. Long since, alas ! to such a swift decay,
. [T]hat reach the map, and look
. [I]f you a river there can spy,
. [A]nd, for a river, your mock'd eye
. [W]ill find a shallow brook.
.
Davenant specifically associates the poet Shakespeare with
the Avon river, like Jonson in his First Folio poem, and also
calls him "Master," as befitting William Shakespeare's social
position. This testimony deserves to be taken seriously, because
significant evidence indicates that William Shakespeare was a friend
of the Davenant family. William (1606-1668) used to hint that he was
Shakespeare's bastard son; several independent 17th-century sources
report that Shakespeare used to stay at the Davenants' tavern in
Oxford on his journeys between Stratford and London; William's
brother Robert Davenant personally told John Aubrey that
"Mr. William Shakespeare here gave him a hundred kisses"
during these visits.>>

17th-century References to Shakespeare's Stratford Monument

In 1693, a Mr. Dowdall visited Stratford and wrote down
some of his observations in a letter. He wrote,

. VISION OF A FAIR MAID, WITH ECHO VERSES.
.
Sitting alone upon my thoughts in melancholy mood,
In sight of sea, and at my back an ancient hoary wood,
I saw a fair young lady come her secret fears to wail,
Clad all in colour of a nun, and covered with a veil.
Yet (for the day was calm and clear) I might discern her face,
As one might see a damask rose hid under crystal glass.
Three tim[E]s with her soft hand ful[L] hard on her left side sh[E]
knocks, And sigh'd so sor[E] as might have made some [P]ity in,
the rocks. From si[G]hs and shedding amber tears
into sweet song she brake,
