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.

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.

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.

Happy 510th Birthday to Sir Thomas Smith, the brilliant scholar, statesman, diplomat, and educator. It is no exaggeration to say that Shake-Speare would not have existed without him. I will have more to say about Sir Thomas, soon.

Wasn't expecting to have another post ready this year, but these birds were making too much noise, I had to shut them up so I could concentrate. Presumably the last post for 2023. Next year though, stay tuned.

Hawks and Handsaws

An old woodcut shows that there's a lot more going on with hawks and handsaws than Hamlet knowing which is which when the wind is southerly.

Jane Grey Dudley lost her head on this date in 1554.

On this date in Fifty-Four
Jane Grey’s head fell to the floor
Husband’s head had fallen first
While Jane her scaffold speech rehearsed
