<<After attending the Shakespearean Authorship Conference at the Globe in November 2013, Alain English of the Central London Debating Society decided to hold a debate on the Shakespeare Authorship Question. This took place at Ye Olde Cock Tavern in Fleet
Street close to the Middle Temple where Twelfth Night was performed in 1602. Duncan Salkeld, Senior Lecturer in English at Chichester University ended up (youtube time ~ 22:40) with yet another personal attack (this time on the Marlovians) by ironically
suggesting that Philip Sidney might have survived his apparently fatal wound in 1586 and written the works incognito.>>

*HERE* now have you (most deare, and most *WORTHY* to be most deare
LADY) this *IDLE* worke of mine : which I *FEAR* (like the *Spiders
webbe*) will be thought fitter to be swept away, then worn to any
other purpose. For my part, in *VERy TRUETH* (as the cruell fathers
among the Greekes, were woont to doo to the babes they would not
foster) I could well find in my *HARTE* , to cast out in some desert
of forgetfulnes *this child, which I am loath to father* . But you
desired me to doo it, and your desire, to my *HART* is an absolute commandement. Now, it is done onelie for you, onely to you : if you
keepe it to your selfe, or to such friendes, who will weigh errors
in the ballaunce of good will, I hope, for the fathers sake, *it will
be PARDONED* , perchance made much of, though in it selfe it have
deformities. For indeede, for *sEVEREr* eyes it is not, being but
a trifle, and that triflinglie handled. Your deare selfe can best
witnes the *MANER* , being done in loose *SHEETES* of paper, most
of it in your presence, the rest, by sheetes, sent unto you, as
fast as they were done. In summe, a young head, not so well stayed
as I would it were, (and shall be when God will) having many many
fancies begotten in it, if it had not ben in some way DEliVERED,
would have growen a *MONSTER* , & more sorie might I be that they
came in, then that they gat out. But his chiefe safetie, shalbe
the not walking abroad ; & his chiefe protection, the bearing the
*liVERyE of your name* ; which (if much much good will do not
deceave me) is worthy to be a sanctuary for a greater offender.
This say I, because I knowe the VERtuE so ; and this say I,
because it may be EVER so ; or to say better, because it *Will
be EVER* so. Read it then at your *IDLE* tymes, and the follyes
your good judgement wil finde in it, blame not, but *LAUGH* at.
And so, looking for no better stuffe, then, as in an
*HABERDASHERS* shoppe, *GLASSES* , or *FEATHERS* , you will
continue to love the writer, who doth excedinglie love you;
and most most *HARTElie PRAIES* you may long live, to be
a principall *ORNAMENT* to the familie of the *SIDNEIs*.

<<Sir Philippe [SIDNEI] (30 November 1554 - 17 October 1586) may have begun an early draft [of Arcadia] in the late 1570s, when he was in his twenties. His own comments indicate that he intended only to entertain his sister, Mary Herbert, the Countess of
Pembroke. This version is narrated in chronological order, with sets of poems separating the books from each other. In the 1580s, Sidney took the frame of the original story, reorganized it, and added episodes, most significantly the story of the just
rebel Amphialus. The additions more than double the original story; however, Sidney had not finished the revision at the time of his death in 1586. Sidney's revised Arcadia was prepared for the press and published in two differing editions. Fulke
Greville, in collaboration with Matthew Gwinne & John Florio, edited and oversaw the publication of the 1590 edition, which ends in mid-scene and mid-sentence:

"Whereat ashamed (as hauing nEVER done so much before in his life)"

....................................................... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Sidney#Injury_and_death

<<[Sir Philip Sidney (30 November 1554 - 17 October 1586)] joined Sir John Norris in the Battle of Zutphen, fighting for the Protestant cause against the Spanish. During the battle, he was shot in the thigh and died of gangrene *26* days later.

According to the story, while lying wounded he gave his water to another wounded soldier, saying, "Thy necessity is yet greater than mine". As he lay dying, Sidney composed a song to be sung by his deathbed.

Sidney's body was returned to London and interred in the Old St. Paul's Cathedral on 16 February 1587. [Sidney] had become for many English people the very epitome of a Castiglione courtier: learned and politic, but at the same time generous, brave, and
impulsive. The funeral procession was one of the most elaborate ever staged, so much so that his father-in-law, Francis Walsingham, almost went bankrupt. Never more than a marginal figure in the politics of his time, he was memorialised as the flower of
English manhood in Edmund Spenser's Astrophel, one of the greatest English Renaissance elegies. An early biography of Sidney was written by his friend and schoolfellow, Fulke Greville.>>

Biography of Sir Edward Dyer http://www.poemhunter.com/sir-edward-dyer/biography/
.
<<Author of two of the most famous Elizabethan lyrics,
'My Mind to Me a Kingdom is' and 'The Lowest Trees have Tops',
Dyer cut a figure of some significance at Elizabeth's Court
and became Chancellor of the Order of the Garter.
.
Philip Sidney and he were companions in everything (he was
'Coridens' [Cosn Dier] in Sidney's verse) and with Fulke Greville
Dyer was bequeathed Sidney's books. He wrote an elegy lamenting
Sidney's death. His other friends included Robert Earl of Essex,
Gilbert Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury, Walter Ralegh, Robert Sidney,
Robert Cecil, Thomas Sackville Lord Buckhurst, Sir Christopher
Hatton, the Countess of Pembroke and John Dee.
.
An alchemist himself, it was on the basis of Dyer's reports of the
success of Edward Kelley, Dee's scryer, that influenced Elizabeth
and Burghley to take Kelley's claims seriously. Dyer worked with
Kelley in his laboratory in Bohemia for about 6 months in 1590.
.
His contemporaries praised his skill as a poet: '...in a *MANNER*
oure onlye Inglish poett...' and his 'written devises farr
excell most of the sonets, and cantos in print' (Gabriel Harvey);
'Maister Edward Dyar for Elegie moste sweete, solempne and
of high conceit' (Puttenham); Nashe stated that Dyer was
the first 'that repurified Poetrie from Arts pedantisime,
and that instructed it to speake courtly'. He was buried
at St Saviour's, Southwark, on the 11th of May 1607.>> ---------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.quns.cam.ac.uk/Queens/Record/1997/History/Shakes.html

<<Mary Sidney Herbert, 2nd Countess of Pembroke (1561-1621) worked
to make her home Wilton House in Wiltshire a leading cultural centre,
which when flourishing reminded one visiting poet "of the Court of
Urbino in Italy". The Countess encouraged writers and poets - and
'occasional' playmakers' efforts - in an academy environment "of
courtliness and piety." Wilton's archives were said to have long
held Mary's letter to her son, sent in 1606, saying "We have
the man Shakespeare here - bring King James!" And that Heminges
received thirty pounds (a huge amount) for the King's Men's
performance of "As You Like It" played at Wilton.>> ----------------------------------------------------

Quote from: "Shadowplay" Asquith, Clare http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com/index.php?topic=3422942.0;wap2

<<England was not a free society. The precarious Tudor regime made sophisticated use of propaganda and exercised tight control over
the country's small number of licensed printing presses..... A
contemporary ballad survives lamenting "little John Nobody, that
durst not speak"-the silenced voice of the Catholic opposition.

...The first surprise is the size of the Catholic opposition to the
new Protestant order. It was in a majority right up to the end of
the 16th century. A powerful group, it was easily capable of removing
the regime that oppressed it. Yet there was no organised opposition:
most religious dissidents chose the path of passive resistence.
Even at the time, the extent of John Nobody's silence was puzzling.

Earlier in the book Asquith describes the martyrdom of Richard
Whiting, last abbot of Glastonbury Abbey. She mentions the
chapel that once stood there, dedicated to Our (LADY) and built
out of *REEDS* , when the area was still surrounded by sea and
called Ynys-witrin, "the Island of Glass" ["l'îlE DE VERRE"].
Asquith goes on to describe the subsequent theft of Catholic
land and treasures, the sale of Abbey stones for use in
new buildings and the ruthless dismantling of an intricate
Christian culture at the hands of political reformers.>> -----------------------------------------------------------

When thus the *ECHO* answered her to EVERy word she spake:

Oh heavens ! who was the first that bred in me this fEVER ?
. . . . VERE (VER.)
Who was the first that gave the wound whose fear I WEAR for EVER ?
. . . . VERE.
What tyrant, CUPID, to my harm usurps thy golden quiVER ?
. . . . VERE.
What sight first caught this heart and can from bondage it deliVER ?
. . . . VERE.

Yet who doth most adore this sight, oh hollow *CAVEs* tell TRUE ?
You.
What NYMPH DEsERVEs his liking best, yet doth in sorrow rue ? You.
What makes him not reward good will with some reward or ruth ? Youth.
What makes him show besides his birth,
such pride and such unTRUTH? Youth.

May I his favour match with love, if he my love will try? Ay.
May I requite his birth with faith ? Then faithful will I die? Ay.
And I, that knew this (LADY) well,
Said, Lord how great a miracle,
To her how *ECHO* told the TRUTH,
As TRUE as Phoebus' oracle. - The Earle of Oxforde. -----------------------------------------------------------
Help *ECHO* that in *AIR* doth flee,
shrill voices to resound,
To wail this LOSS of my good name,
as of these griefs the ground. -- {E.O.} ---------------------------------------------------------
