New post: Ten Years Limericked

Hard to believe I’ve been online for a decade. 🥳

I take a look back with limericks to begin, prose in the middle, and Physical Graffiti to tie it all together.

I'm sure Andrea was being ironic with the pic of Sir Thomas Overbury at the top of her Substack piece.

Wrong wrong author aside, I could not have found a better example to illustrate my Education post.

New post: ChAIsing Wild Geese

Tales told by silicon idiots, full of the sound of authority, signifying nothing but a talent for telling tales.

The 4th Duke of Norfolk's execution warrant, the tangent post to 'Commiserating With Mary'. Part of this reads like the Brave Sir Robin song in Holy Grail. A traitor's death at Tyburn was no fun, though in the end Tom was spared that end.

Tangent: His Head To Be Smitten Off • Shake-Speare’s blog

Elizabeth signed this warrant for the Duke of Norfolk’s execution on 9th Feb 1572, then changed her mind. She did that a lot.

New (long) post: Commiserating With Mary

How fair Henry Wriothesley, 3rd Earl of Southampton, came to be the subject of some of my sonnets. It’s not the story you’ve heard. Plus: Tom Howard’s gruesome 1572 execution warrant, transcribed by yours truly.

One of the best verbs I ever came up with, in one of the best pentameter lines I ever came up with, and the compositor botched it. There is no second r in *incarnadine*. Bloody typo has annoyed me for 401 years.

New blog post for Boxing Day: The Trivial Box

A box of Shakespeare questions, and a few about Willy. The SBT is behind the box, and I am in front of it, my lance couched for the atteint.

I wrote lyrics at the end of this 2018 post which I *still* have not heard recorded by two someones who can sing them in character for me. Consider this a request for any assistance in finding such a pair of tuneful goons.

Cole Porter wrote witty but now cringey lyrics for a song in 'Kiss Me, Kate'. My revision advocates Oxfordianism rather than date rape.

I updated an old poem by Ovid that I first translated when I was a teenager (don’t let Uncle Arthur fool you). It’s at a bunch of Amazons, with links and details in the blog post. So new the ink's still wet.

It's a book. I've updated my (not Uncle Arthur's) 1567 translation of Ovid's greatest work. Lots of new bits too. All the details are here.
