In stead thereof scoffing Scurrilitie,
And scornfull Follie with Contempt is crept,
Rolling in rymes of shameles ribaudrie
Without regard, or due decorum kept;
Each idle wit at will presumes to make,
And doth the learneds taske upon him take.
But that same gentle spirit, from whose pen
Large streames of honnie and sweete nectar flowe,
Scorning the boldnes of such base-borne men,
Which dare their follies forth so rashlie throwe,
Doth rather choose to sit in idle cell,
Than so himselfe to mockerie to sell.

CROSSING PATHS WITH THOMAS NASHE
by Ian Steere, March 2010
<<Spencer had appended to The Faerie Queene a commendatory sonnet of accomplishments addressed to each of some twenty grandees of the land, [but] excluding the Earl of Southampton and Lord Strange.
In his concluding after-address to the reader in Pierce Pennilesse (1592) Thomas Nashe (1567-1601) rails at length against an unidentified patron, a Courtier who is avoiding him and who, he implies with a Latin maxim, has failed to deliver on promises of payment. He urges friends to be more careful in their dedications and:
"not cast away so many months labour on a clown that knowes not how to vse a Scholer: for what reason haue I to bestow any wit on him, that wil bestow none of his wealth vpon me." Alas, it is easie for a goodlie tall fellow that shineth in his silkes, to come and out face a poore simple Pedant in a thred bare *CLOAKE*, and tell him his book is prety, but at this time he is not prouided for him: marrie about two or three daies hence if he come that waie, his Page shall say he is not within, or else he is so busie with my L. How-call-ye-him, and my L. What-call-ye-him, that he may not be spoken withall. These are the common courses of the world, which euerie man priuatlie murmurs at but none dares openlie vpbraid, bicause all Artists for the most part are base minded and like the Indians, that haue store of gold & pretious stones at command, yet are ignorant of their value, & therfore let the Spaniards, the Englishmen, and euerie one loade their ships without molestation. So they enioying and possessing the puritie of knowledge (a treasure farre richer than the Indian Mines) let euerie proude Thraso be partaker of their perfections, repaieng them no profit: and gylde himselfe with the titles they giue him, when he wil scarse returne them a good word for their labor: giue an Ape but a nut, & he will look your head for it; or a dog a bone, and hele wag his taile: but giue me one of my yoong Maisters a booke, and he will put of his hat & blush, and so go his waie: yes, now I remember me I lie, for I know him that had thanks for three yeares worke, and a gentleman that bestowed much cost in refining of musicke, and had scarse Fidlers wages for his labor. We want an Aretine here among vs, that might strip these *GOLDEN ASSES* out of their gaie trappings, and after he had ridden them to death with railing, leaue them on the *DUNGHILL* for carion. But I will write to his ghost by my carrier, and I hope hele repaire his whip, and vse it against our English Peacockes, that painting themselues with church spoils, like mighty mens sepulchers, haue nothing but Atheisme, schisme, hypocrisie, & vainglory, like rotten bones lurking within them. O how my soule abhors these buckram giants, that hauing an outwarde face of honor set vppon them by flatterers and parasites, haue their inward thoughtes stuft with strawe and feathers, if they were narrowelie sifted. Far be it bright stars of Nobilitie, and glistring attendants on the true Diana, that this my speech shoulde be anie way iniurious to your glorious magnificence: for in you liue those sparks of Augustus liberalitie, that neuer sent anie awaie emptie: & Science seauenfold throne well nigh ruined by ryot and auarice, is mightilie supported by your plentifull larges, which makes Poets to sing such goodlie himnes of your praise, as no enuious posteritie may forget. But from generall fame, let me digres to my priuate experience, and with a toong vnworthy to name a name of such worthines, affectionatelie emblason to the eies that woonder, the matchlesse image of Honor, and magnificent rewarder of VER(tu)E, *Ioues Eagle-borne Ganimed, thrice noble AMYNTAS*. In whose high spirit, such a Deitie of wisdom appeereth, that if Homer were to write his Odissea new (where vnder the person of Vlysses he describeth a singular man of perfection, in whom all ornaments both of peace and warre are assembled in the height of their excelence) he need no other instance
to augment his *CONCEIT*, than the rare *CARRIAGE* of his honorable minde.

.....................................................
Manye writers and good wits, are giuen to commend their patrons and Benefactors, some for prowesse, some for policie, others for the glorie of their Ancestrie and exceeding bountie and liberalitie: but if my vnable pen shoul[D EVER E]nterprise such a continuate taske of praise, I woulde embowell a number of those wind puft bladders, and disfurnish their bald-pates of the periwigs Poets haue lent them, that so I might restore glorie to his right inheritance, and these stoln Titles to their *TRUE* owners: which if it would so fall out, (as time maie worke all thinges) the aspiring nettles with their shadie toppes shal no longer ouer-dreep the best hearbs, or keep them from the smiling aspect of the Sunn, that liue & thriue by his comfortable beames, none but Desert should sit in Fames grace, none but Hector be remembred in the chronicles of Prowesse, none but thou most curteous *AMYNTAS* be the second misticall argument of the knight of the Red-crosse.
Perusing yesternight with idle eyes,
The Fairy Singers stately tuned verse:
And viewing after *CHAP-MENS* wonted guise,
What *STRANGE* contents the title did rehearse.
I streight leapt ouer to the latter end,
Where like the queint Comædians of our time,
That when their Play is doone do fal to ryme,
I found short lines, to sundry Nobles pend.
Whom he as speciall Mirrours singled fourth,
To be the Patrons of his Poetry;
I read them all, and reuerenc't their worth,
Yet wondred he left out thy memory.
But therefore gest I he supprest thy name,
Because few words might not co[m]prise thy fame.
Tantum hoc molior, in this short digression, to acquaint our countreymen that liue out of the *Eccho of the Court* , with a common knowledge of his inualuable vertues, and shew my selfe thankfull (in some part) for benefits receiued: which since words may not countervaile, that are the vsuall lip labour of euerie idle discourser,>>

He was born at West HAM, the second son of Sir Thomas Lodge,
who was Lord Mayor of the City of London in 1562-1563.
Young Thomas served as *PAGE* to the Stanleys, Earls of Derby,

Merchant-Taylors' School. From there he went on to
Trinity College, Oxford, where he took his degree in 1577.>>

A wonder *STRANGE* to hear,
Whilst Love in deed and word

Both love and fancy blended;
Which made the gods forsake,
And men from fancy fly,
And maidens scorn a make,
Forsooth, and so *WILL I*.

By England's Aid or The Freeing of the Netherlands
(1585-1604) by G. A. Henty [Chapter I. An Excursion]
http://www.classicreader.com/read.php/sid.14/bookid.1847/sec.2/
<<The successes of the English during these two years were
counterbalanced by the cowardly surrender of Grave by its
governor, and by the treachery of Sir William {STANLEY},
governor of Deventer, and of *ROLAND YORKE*, who commanded
the garrisons of the two forts known as the Zutphen SCONCES.
Both these officers turned traitors & delivered up the posts
they commanded to the Spaniards. Their conduct not only
caused great material loss to the allies, but it gave
rise to much bad feeling between the English and Dutch.>>

spoiling of the Quenes treasur, your robbing and stearving of pore

then your selfe, and lastly your placeing of traytors, notwithstanding
you were warned thereof, in the strong towens and fortes, which
were also yealded by them by atorytye of your owen letters,
[Leicester installed Sir William {STANLEY} & Rowland YORKE in command
of Deventer and the Zutfen SCONCE, despite the strenuous objections
of *John Norris* , whom the Earl hated, and the States-General;
in January 1587 they surrendered both positions to the Spanish
(but not, presumably, by Leicester's authority).]>>

The Anglo-Saxon name was Eoforwic, changed by the
Scandinavians to JORVIK (both vowels long: J?v?), which
then mutated to Jork/YORK in the post-Viking period.
The OE and ON names both suggest unetymological
interpretations of the earlier Roman and British names
. (OE eofor = boar, ON j? = stallion).

<<On the way across the Channel pirates attacked his vessel. (It was
curiously like what was to happen to Hamlet.) He must have speculated
grimly as to who had tipped them off and have felt an access of
bitterness for the scurvy ways of men. Refusing to land at Dover, where
Thomas Cecil had gone to meet him, he left the ship in the Thames,
accompanied by *ROLAND YORKE*, Gascoigne's old companion-in-arms.
Here the Countess of Oxford and her father were awaiting him. But he
passed them without a glance and made his way directly to the Queen.>>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.sarahsmith.com/chasingshakespeares/book_and_background/cha...
<<Oxford hears about the birth only in late September: The mail between
England and Italy was not remarkably fast, but, if Cecil wrote to his
son-in-law when the child was born on July 2, his letter seems to have
taken longer than usual to reach Italy. The whole story of who did
what when in the case of Elizabeth de Vere's paternity is rich with
opportunities for insinuation and counteraccusation. Ogburn suggests
a plot involving Lord Henry Howard and/or *ROLAND YORKE*, Oxford's
receiver, to blacken Oxford's reputation, and marshals evidence
that Elizabeth de Vere may have been born later than the
last date at which Oxford thought she could have been his.>>

CROSSING PATHS WITH THOMAS NASHE
by Ian Steere, March 2010
<<Spencer had appended to The Faerie Queene a commendatory sonnet of accomplishments addressed to each of some twenty grandees of the land, [but] excluding the Earl of Southampton and Lord Strange.
In his concluding after-address to the reader in Pierce Pennilesse (1592) Thomas Nashe (1567-1601) rails at length against an unidentified patron, a Courtier who is avoiding him and who, he implies with a Latin maxim, has failed to deliver on promises of payment. He urges friends to be more careful in their dedications and:
"not cast away so many months labour on a clown that knowes not how to vse a Scholer: for what reason haue I to bestow any wit on him, that wil bestow none of his wealth vpon me." Alas, it is easie for a goodlie tall fellow that shineth in his silkes, to come and out face a poore simple Pedant in a thred bare *CLOAKE*, and tell him his book is prety, but at this time he is not prouided for him: marrie about two or three daies hence if he come that waie, his Page shall say he is not within, or else he is so busie with my L. How-call-ye-him, and my L. What-call-ye-him, that he may not be spoken withall. These are the common courses of the world, which euerie man priuatlie murmurs at but none dares openlie vpbraid, bicause all Artists for the most part are base minded and like the Indians, that haue store of gold & pretious stones at command, yet are ignorant of their value, & therfore let the Spaniards, the Englishmen, and euerie one loade their ships without molestation. So they enioying and possessing the puritie of knowledge (a treasure farre richer than the Indian Mines) let euerie proude Thraso be partaker of their perfections, repaieng them no profit: and gylde himselfe with the titles they giue him, when he wil scarse returne them a good word for their labor: giue an Ape but a nut, & he will look your head for it; or a dog a bone, and hele wag his taile: but giue me one of my yoong Maisters a booke, and he will put of his hat & blush, and so go his waie: yes, now I remember me I lie, for I know him that had thanks for three yeares worke, and a gentleman that bestowed much cost in refining of musicke, and had scarse Fidlers wages for his labor. We want an Aretine here among vs, that might strip these *GOLDEN ASSES* out of their gaie trappings, and after he had ridden them to death with railing, leaue them on the *DUNGHILL* for carion. But I will write to his ghost by my carrier, and I hope hele repaire his whip, and vse it against our English Peacockes, that painting themselues with church spoils, like mighty mens sepulchers, haue nothing but Atheisme, schisme, hypocrisie, & vainglory, like rotten bones lurking within them. O how my soule abhors these buckram giants, that hauing an outwarde face of honor set vppon them by flatterers and parasites, haue their inward thoughtes stuft with strawe and feathers, if they were narrowelie sifted. Far be it bright stars of Nobilitie, and glistring attendants on the true Diana, that this my speech shoulde be anie way iniurious to your glorious magnificence: for in you liue those sparks of Augustus liberalitie, that neuer sent anie awaie emptie: & Science seauenfold throne well nigh ruined by ryot and auarice, is mightilie supported by your plentifull larges, which makes Poets to sing such goodlie himnes of your praise, as no enuious posteritie may forget. But from generall fame, let me digres to my priuate experience, and with a toong vnworthy to name a name of such worthines, affectionatelie emblason to the eies that woonder, the matchlesse image of Honor, and magnificent rewarder of VER(tu)E, *Ioues Eagle-borne Ganimed, thrice noble AMYNTAS*. In whose high spirit, such a Deitie of wisdom appeereth, that if Homer were to write his Odissea new (where vnder the person of Vlysses he describeth a singular man of perfection, in whom all ornaments both of peace and warre are assembled in the height of their excelence) he need no other instance
to augment his *CONCEIT*, than the rare *CARRIAGE* of his honorable minde.

Manye writers and good wits, are giuen to commend their patrons and Benefactors, some for prowesse, some for policie, others for the glorie of their Ancestrie and exceeding bountie and liberalitie: but if my vnable pen shoul[D EVER E]nterprise such a continuate taske of praise, I woulde embowell a number of those wind puft bladders, and disfurnish their bald-pates of the periwigs Poets haue lent them, that so I might restore glorie to his right inheritance, and these stoln Titles to their *TRUE* owners: which if it would so fall out, (as time maie worke all thinges) the aspiring nettles with their shadie toppes shal no longer ouer-dreep the best hearbs, or keep them from the smiling aspect of the Sunn, that liue & thriue by his comfortable beames, none but Desert should sit in Fames grace, none but Hector be remembred in the chronicles of Prowesse, none but thou most curteous *AMYNTAS* be the second misticall argument of the knight of the Red-crosse.
Perusing yesternight with idle eyes,
The Fairy Singers stately tuned verse:
And viewing after *CHAP-MENS* wonted guise,
What *STRANGE* contents the title did rehearse.
I streight leapt ouer to the latter end,
Where like the queint Comædians of our time,
That when their Play is doone do fal to ryme,
I found short lines, to sundry Nobles pend.
Whom he as speciall Mirrours singled fourth,
To be the Patrons of his Poetry;
I read them all, and reuerenc't their worth,
Yet wondred he left out thy memory.
But therefore gest I he supprest thy name,
Because few words might not co[m]prise thy fame.

By England's Aid or The Freeing of the Netherlands
(1585-1604) by G. A. Henty [Chapter I. An Excursion]
http://www.classicreader.com/read.php/sid.14/bookid.1847/sec.2/
<<The successes of the English during these two years were
counterbalanced by the cowardly surrender of Grave by its
governor, and by the treachery of Sir William {STANLEY},
governor of Deventer, and of *ROLAND YORKE*, who commanded
the garrisons of the two forts known as the Zutphen SCONCES.
Both these officers turned traitors & delivered up the posts
they commanded to the Spaniards. Their conduct not only
caused great material loss to the allies, but it gave
rise to much bad feeling between the English and Dutch.>>

A Defamatory Narrative of the Earl of Leicester by D. C. Peck

<<Now as towching your worthy exploites in Flanders,
your soweing of sedition betwen the peple and the States, your
spoiling of the Quenes treasur, your robbing and stearving of pore
sould[i]ers, your slandring and beling of much better and worthyer men
then your selfe, and lastly your placeing of traytors, notwithstanding
you were warned thereof, in the strong towens and fortes, which
were also yealded by them by atorytye of your owen letters,
[Leicester installed Sir William {STANLEY} & Rowland YORKE in command
of Deventer and the Zutfen SCONCE, despite the strenuous objections
of *John Norris* , whom the Earl hated, and the States-General;
in January 1587 they surrendered both positions to the Spanish
(but not, presumably, by Leicester's authority).]>>

The Anglo-Saxon name was Eoforwic, changed by the
Scandinavians to JORVIK (both vowels long: J?v?), which
then mutated to Jork/YORK in the post-Viking period.
The OE and ON names both suggest unetymological
interpretations of the earlier Roman and British names
. (OE eofor = boar, ON j? = stallion).

<<On the way across the Channel pirates attacked his vessel. (It was
curiously like what was to happen to Hamlet.) He must have speculated
grimly as to who had tipped them off and have felt an access of
bitterness for the scurvy ways of men. Refusing to land at Dover, where
Thomas Cecil had gone to meet him, he left the ship in the Thames,
accompanied by *ROLAND YORKE*, Gascoigne's old companion-in-arms.
Here the Countess of Oxford and her father were awaiting him. But he
passed them without a glance and made his way directly to the Queen.>>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.sarahsmith.com/chasingshakespeares/book_and_background/cha...
<<Oxford hears about the birth only in late September: The mail between
England and Italy was not remarkably fast, but, if Cecil wrote to his
son-in-law when the child was born on July 2, his letter seems to have
taken longer than usual to reach Italy. The whole story of who did
what when in the case of Elizabeth de Vere's paternity is rich with
opportunities for insinuation and counteraccusation. Ogburn suggests
a plot involving Lord Henry Howard and/or *ROLAND YORKE*, Oxford's
receiver, to blacken Oxford's reputation, and marshals evidence
that Elizabeth de Vere may have been born later than the
last date at which Oxford thought she could have been his.>>
