The Chorus breaks in a newb,
recently finding himself out of time and place
under the Dodona Oaks...
It's acting.
Been said.
Just so.
How so?
All an actors' thing
Until you follow up
The puppet strings
To the fingers
That transcribe the lines,
These black integers.
So, we would all be
Gods?
Authors, playwrights,
Antiquarian homeridae?
Antiquarian homeridae?
Blind and
Crazy as bat shit Homers?
A bit harsh,
From a newb.
Harsh is a dagger blade
Beneath your shoulder blade
That splits your breast bone
In full view of your cell phone.
Cell phone?
Another when another where.
A kind of conch
Like you hold to your ear
And listen to the sea.
Together with a bronze hand mirror
Like a window on the world.
Newb, you have all that?
What will you do?
With the telegraph
We lost the pony express.
Oh, I see,
With writing on paper
We lost memory's net
To hold our catch.
Is anything lost
When you have everything?
I ain't noth'n'
But a puppet on a string.
Welcome to humility, Newb.

The King's Men was the acting company to which William Shakespeare (1564–1616) belonged for most of his career. Formerly known as The Lord Chamberlain's Men during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, they became The King's Men in 1603 when King James I ascended the throne and became the company's patron.

Scourge of Malice or Malice Scourge or Mare Scourge was a 38-gun ship ordered by George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland. She was built and launched at Deptford Dockyard in 1595. The Earl used her as his flagship during raids on the Spanish Main, where she provided additional force to support his fleet. She was later renamed Red Dragon and used by the East India Company during at least five voyages to the East Indies.

Clifford rose in the world as an accomplished jouster and became Queen Elizabeth's second Champion on the retirement of Sir Henry Lee of Ditchley. A portrait miniature by Nicholas Hilliard circa 1590 commemorates the appointment, showing him in tilting attire with the Queen's glove pinned to his hat as a sign of her favour. She made him a Knight of the Garter in 1592 and he sat as a peer in the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots. Clifford was involved in the formation of the East India Company.

It was founded during the reign of Elizabeth I of England in 1594 under patronage of Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon, then the Lord Chamberlain, who was in charge of court entertainments. After Carey's death on 23 July 1596, the company came under the patronage of his son, George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon, for whom it was briefly known as Lord Hunsdon's Men. When George Carey in turn became Lord Chamberlain on 17 March 1597, it reverted to its previous name. The company became the King's Men in 1603 when King James ascended the throne and became the company's patron. The company held exclusive rights to perform Shakespeare's plays.

Her name, "Rosamund," may have been influenced by the Latin phrase rosa mundi, which means "rose of the world."[1]
Rosamund grew up at Castle Clifford, before going to Godstow Nunnery, near Oxford, to be educated by the nuns.[2] Henry publicly acknowledged the liaison with Rosamund in 1174.[citation needed] When the affair ended, Rosamund retired to Godstow Abbey, where she died, not thirty years old, in 1176. According to Mike Ibeji, "there is ...no doubt that the great love of his life was Rosamund Clifford."[3]

For several decades, some theorists have suggested William Shakespeare placed his mark on the translated text of Psalm 46 that appears in the King James Bible, although many scholars view this as unlikely, stating that the translations were probably agreed upon by a committee of scholars.[17] The 46th word from the beginning of Psalm 46 is "shake" and the 46th word from the end (omitting the liturgical mark "Selah") is "spear" ("speare" in the original spelling). Shakespeare was in King James' service during the preparation of the King James Bible, and was generally considered to be 46 years old in 1611 when the translation was completed.

'Of all the sweet feminine names compounded from Rosa, that of Rosa-linda seems to be the most elegant, and therefore most befitting that particular character of ideal beauty which the dramatist here assigns to his imaginary princess.

Along with this well-documented visit, there is also a tradition that Shakespeare travelled to Scotland at the request of King James VI who, in 1599, had pleaded with Queen Elizabeth to send a company of players north of the Border to perform for him.

Central to the plot is a Duke who enjoys the calm and integrity which closeness to nature brings. Among the other main players is Rosalind – a name suspiciously close to Rosslyn – the love-sick heroine. In the play's song of Amiens, Under the Greenwood Tree, the beauty of Roslin Glen is suggested by Shakespeare's many references to the links between the human race and animals and plants.
