Let divine Bartasse, eternally praise-worthie for his weeks worke, say
the best thinges were made first: Let other countries (sweet Cambridge)
envie, (yet admire) my Virgil, thy petrarch, divine Spenser. And
unlesse I erre, (a thing easie in such simplicitie) deluded by dearly
beloved Delia, and fortunatelie fortunate Cleopatra; Oxford thou maist

in contracted shape, were sufficient amongst men, to gaine pardon of
the sinne to Rosemond, pittie to distressed Cleopatra, and
everliving praise to her loving Delia:

This passage has baffled some other anti-Stratfordians. Some, including
Volker (who has perhaps never seen the words in context), imagine that
"Oxford thou maist extoll thy {COURT}e-deare-verse" is meant as praise
of (E)dward (DE VERE}, but the passage clearly shows that Samuel Daniel
(a man of whom his alma mater, Oxford, could be justly proud, just as
Cambridge could brag on Spenser) and not Vere (who is not even mentioned)
is being praised here. [Slightly off-topic: note that Covell's
use of "everliving" contains no suggestion that Delia is dead.]

The marginal note accompanying this passage reads,

. All praiseworthy. Lucrecia Sweet Shakspeare.

Lord *AMBROSE* (DUDLEY) Erle of Warwicke. (END)

To serue the Prince, his pursse, or power, was euer ready prest:
Like Fortresse or like stately Tower, in armes among the best.
To spread in *feilde the RAGGED STAFFE*, against all forraine foes:
As wind that driues both dust & chaffe, in th'aire where tēpest bloes
So had he minde to thrust them downe, that fight with stayned troth
To harme or touch onr land, our Crowne, our Prince & coūtry both.
Glad was Erle Warwick euery way, to do the good he might:
In Court and Towne the world doth say, he neuer harmed wight.
He kept the euen ballance iust, that eche man had true weight:
He was a man of speciall trust, cleane voyde of craft or sleight.
Most plain of words, most plain of deeds, plain dealing led him throgh
Amid these briers & scratching weeds, that wounds plain people now
No storme nor change could make him turn, he stood like brasen wall
Against fine world, proud mindes, false faith, vntruth, and treasons all
At Norwich in King Edwards raygne, amid ranke rebelles rage:
The horsse he rod on there was slaine, in prime of *AMBROSE* age.
Saint Quintins where Lord Harry dyed, sets yet his valure forth:
At seige of Hawne was Warwick tryed, and found a man of woorth.
New-hauen till the plague began, he held full safe and sound:
Where many a valiant Englishman, made Ringraue giue them ground.
No greefe, no tort, nor torment sore, could daunt his courage great:
A Lyons hart in brest he bore, where hammers long did beat.
Of one deuice or other still, and sounded like a bell
To Gods great glory and his will, that conquered death and hell.
To Heauen held he on his pace, for when his time he knew:
He did but turne from freendes his face, and bad the world adew. ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambrose_Dudley,_3rd_Earl_of_Warwick

<<*AMBROSE* Dudley, 3rd Earl of Warwick, KG (c. 1530 – 21 February 1590) was an English nobleman and general, and an elder brother of Queen Elizabeth I's favourite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Their father was John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland,
who led the English government from 1550–1553 under Edward VI and unsuccessfully tried to establish Lady Jane Grey on the English throne after the King's death in July 1553. For his participation in this venture *AMBROSE* Dudley was imprisoned in the
Tower of London and condemned to death. Reprieved, his rehabilitation came after he fought for Philip II of Spain (then England's co-monarch) in the Battle of St. Quentin.

On Queen Elizabeth's accession in November 1558 Dudley was appointed Master of the Ordnance, in which capacity he was to unofficially assist William the Silent in his struggle against Spain by delivering English weaponry. As the senior member of his
family, Dudley was created Earl of Warwick in December 1561. In 1562–1563 he commanded the army Elizabeth sent to Le Havre to garrison the town and assist the Huguenots in the First French War of Religion. This campaign ended in failure when the French
belligerents agreed on a peace and the English surrendered because of the plague which was decimating their ranks. Dudley, who had acted honorably throughout, returned with a severe leg wound which was to hinder his further career and ultimately led to
his death 27 years later. His last military engagement was against the Northern rebels in 1569. From 1573 he served as a privy councillor.

Like Robert Dudley, *AMBROSE* was a major patron of the Elizabethan Puritan movement and supported non-conforming preachers in their struggle with the Church authorities. Due to his homely way of life—and in contrast to the colourful Earl of Leicesterâ€
”*AMBROSE* Dudley became known to posterity as the "Good Earl of Warwick". *AMBROSE* Dudley and his brothers were trained by, among others, the mathematician John Dee and the rhetorician Thomas Wilson. In August 1549 Dudley went to Norfolk with his
father and his younger brother Robert to fight against the rebel peasant army of Robert Kett.

With the accession of Elizabeth I in November 1558, Robert Dudley came into great favour and was made Master of the Horse. Warwick Castle—which the Queen visited on her 1572 summer progress—became his seat, while the neighbouring Kenilworth Castle
became that of Robert Dudley. Like their father, *AMBROSE* and Robert Dudley adopted *the BEAR and RAGGED STAFF*, the heraldic device of the medieval Earls of Warwick.

In 1562 the First War of Religion started in France, and Elizabeth was under pressure from her Protestant councillors to help the Huguenots. These were in possession of Le Havre, which was besieged by the Catholic Duke of Guise, and offered it to the
English in return for military help—later, they promised, they would exchange it for Calais, which England had lost to France only in 1558. Elizabeth agreed to send 6,000 men to garrison Le Havre. In 1562–1563 *AMBROSE* Dudley commanded the army
Elizabeth sent to Le Havre to garrison the town and assist the Huguenots in the First French War of Religion. This campaign ended in failure. Dudley returned with a severe leg wound which was to hinder his further career and ultimately led to his death
27 years later. His last military engagement was against the Northern rebels in 1569. From 1573 he served as a privy councillor.>>

SHAKE-SPEARE: EDWARD DE VERE, 17th EARL OF OXFORD
Dr. Michael Delahoyde, Washington State University

<<In 1570 when de Vere was 20, and still under wardship, after some persistent requests to see military service, he was sent to *THE NORTH* as an aide to *THOMAS* [RADCLIF]fe, 3rd *EARLE OF SUSSEX* (c. 1525 - 9 June 1583) who had the unpleasant task of
subduing the rebels and disposing of the survivors of a rebellion led by the earls of Northumberland and Westmoreland. He and Sussex became staunch mutual supporters at court (parallel to Philip Sidney and his uncle Leicester). The older Sussex and
Leicester had come to blows more than once in Council-chamber. Sussex served at court also in personally selecting plays to be performed; he superintended rehearsals too. When Sussex lay dying of consumption in 1583 (unless Leicester poisoned him), his
last words were, "Beware of the Gypsy [Leicester], for he will be to hard for you all. You do not know the beast as well as I do".>>

. Patrons of the Mermaid tavernfree (act. 1611)
. Michelle O'Callaghan: 28 September 2006

Patrons of the Mermaid tavern (act. 1611), included a drinking society, the ‘Fraternitie of Sireniacal gentlemen’. According to the early seventeenth-century traveller, writer, and wit, Thomas Coryate, it met the 'first Fridaie of every Moneth, at
the signe of the Mere-Maide in Bread-streete in London' (Traveller for the English Wits, 37). The tavern attracted the patronage of other convivial societies in this period, attesting to well-confirmed habits of formal socializing among the élite in the
West End of early seventeenth-century London. It subsequently achieved fame as the meeting-place of Ben Jonson and his fellow dramatists Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, and other 'heroes and witts of that time' (Aubrey, 2.239).
.
Jonson identified himself with the Mermaid in the 1610s, before taking up residence at the Apollo room of the Devil and St Dunstan tavern on Fleet Street. Beaumont's verse epistle to Jonson, 'The Sun which doth the greatest comfort bring', writes of
.
. what things have we seen
. Done at the Mermaid: heard words that have been
. So nimble, so full of subtil flame
. Then when there hath been thrown
. Wit able enough to justifie the Town
. For three days past, wit that might warrant be
. For the whole City to talk foolishly
. Till that were cancell'd, and when that was gone,
. We left and Air behind us which alone,
. Was able to make the two next Companies
. Right witty; though but downright fools, more wise.

Internal evidence dates the verse epistle to mid-1605, providing further evidence for long-standing if informal drinking and dining societies at the Mermaid, such as the merry dinner attended by Chamberlain, Winwood, and Edmondes in February 1603 (Bland,
165; Letters of John Chamberlain, 1.185). Like Beaumont's epistle, Jonson's writings consistently associate the tavern with poetry and the muses. His 'pure cup of rich Canary wine' eulogized in one of the first English symposiastic lyrics, 'Inviting a
Friend to Supper', comes from the Mermaid; in his exuberant burlesque On the Famous Voyage the two 'knights', Sheldon, probably Thomas or Sir Ralph Sheldon, and Heydon, possibly Sir Christopher Heyden.
.
The development of an English symposiastic tradition that integrated poetry, wine-drinking, and convivial practices during the seventeenth century culminated in Gifford's account of the Mermaid Club, in which the tavern took its place in literary history
as the birthplace of the eighteenth-century literary club. Gifford's Mermaid Club probably inspired John Keats to visit the tavern some time before February 1818, and he had Beaumont's epistle in mind when he wrote his 'Lines on the Mermaid Tavern' ('
Souls of poets dead and gone'). Both Gifford and Keats lie behind Alfred Noyes's Tales of the Mermaid Tavern (1913); a nostalgic reworking of a vision-poem, it imagines, in Beaumont's words, 'what things have we seen / Done at the Mermaid' when Ralegh,
Jonson, [MARLO]we, Shakespeare, Robert Greene, Thomas Dekker, and other Elizabethan dramatists and poets were gathered in the one room.

<<*TAMBURLAINE* the Great is a play in 2 parts by Kit MARLOWE.
It is loosely based on the life of the Central Asian emperor,
. . . Timur (*TAMBURLAINE*/Timur the Lame, d. 1405).

. In Part 2, *TAMBURLAINE* forces the defeated kings to
. .pull his chariot to his next battlefield, declaring,

. . . *Holla ye pampered jades of Asia!
. . What, can ye draw but twenty miles a day?*

Upon reaching Babylon, which holds out against him, Tamburlaine displays further acts of extravagant savagery. When the Governor of the city attempts to save his life in return for revealing the city treasury, Tamburlaine has him hung from the city walls
and shot. He orders the inhabitants — men, women, and children — bound and thrown into a nearby lake. Lastly, *TAMBURLAINE* scornfully burns a copy of the Qur'an and claims to be greater than God. In the final act, he is struck ill but manages to
defeat one more foe before he dies. He bids his sons to conquer the remainder of the earth as he departs life.>>

Coat of arms of the Holy See with gold key in bend

<<The coats of arms of the Holy See and Vatican City in the form that combines two crossed keys and a tiara used as a coat of arms of the Holy See have origins attested from the 14th century. For decades after the creation of the Vatican State, the
arrangement of the keys in the Holy See's coat of arms as described in these sources distinguishes it from that of Vatican City State by a reversing of the gold and silver keys.

However, such form of the coat of arms has not been used by the Holy See for decades: in all official events and in the diplomatic missions of the Holy See abroad, it is always the regular Vatican City flag (with the gold key pointing upwards to the
right and the silver key pointing upwards to the left) that is flown, and the Vatican now only uses the Holy See's coat of arms in monochrome, which renders it in practice one and the same as the coat of arms of Vatican City.

<<*Sir [OLIVER] STAR-KEY* (c.1523-83/86), was an English knight who lived in the 16th century. He was the only English knight present at the siege of Malta. It was wrongly assumed that he was buried in the crypt of St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta.
The tombstone with his name on it contains only a poem written by [OLIVER] Starkey for Grand Master Jean de Valette. The Poem reads, in translation:'To God, Supreme, Almighty, Sacrosanct. He [De Valette] was the dread of Asia and Libya and once the
guardian of Europe, after he had subdued the Turks by means of his Sacred Arms, the first one to lie buried in the grave, here in this propitious city of Valletta which he founded, worthy of eternal honour. Fra. [OLIVER] Starkey, Pro-Turcopolier, wrote [
this] poem.'

In about 1550 [OLIVER] Starkey was admitted to the Order of the Knights of Malta. In 1558 he was involved in the establishment of the English Langue of the Order and in November of that year was appointed as a joint proctor of the Langue. In 1560 he was
elected to be Lieutenant Turcopolier of the Order. The following year he was authorised to establish an English Auberge in Birgu, and he lived in the house next door.

Starkey was involved in the siege of Malta which lasted from May to September 1565, and was the only English knight to have played a part in it. As Lieutenant Turcopolier he was responsible for a section of the coastal defences around Birgu. At the same
time he was Latin Secretary to the contemporary Grand Master, Jean Parisot de la Valette. Valette died in 1568 and ten years later his remains were moved to a tomb in the crypt of the newly completed co-cathedral of St John. Starkey composed the Latin
inscription on his tomb. In 1569 he was appointed Bailiff of Eagle, the fourth highest dignity in the English Langue and in 1578 he was made Grand Prior of the Order of St. John in England. He continued to carry out further duties for the Order, serving
under a total of four Grand Masters, until he died in the spring of 1588.>> -------------------------------------------------
