<<Odin, the god of *FATE, POETRY & UNCHAINING*, hung upon
the *SHAKING* branches of Yggdrasil, the sacred Tree.
For *nine days* and nine nights he suffered.
Self wounded by his *SPEAR*, sacrificed by his hand, an
offering unto himself. In agony & torment he stared into the
bottomless depths of Niflheim, searching the dark pool in
silence. Finally, with great effort, he reached down before
him. His hand was chilled to the bone in the ice cold waters.
With a cry of triumph he grasped the knowledge he sought
.
. the Sacred *RUNES* , their magic and their power.
. He took the *RUNES* and he used them well.
.
He carved them upon the shaft of his *SPEAR*; he carved *RUNES*

<<Artegal is the personification & champion of Justice. Artegal has
a companion in [TALUS], a metal man who wields a flail & never sleeps
or tires but will mercilessly pursue and kill any number of villains.
[TALUS] obeys Artegal's command, and serves to represent justice
without mercy (hence, Artegal is the more human face of justice).
Later, [TALUS] does not rescue Artegal from enslavement by the wicked
Radigund, because Artegal is bound by a legal contract to serve her.>>

the history of collecting. She was employed as a servant in the house
of John Warburton (1682-1759) who had amassed a fine collection of 58

Warburton returned home to find 55 of them charred beyond legibility.
Betsy had either burned them or used them as <PIE> bottoms.

In view of this painful possibility, I will not (as I might)
appeal indignantly to my other writings as a proof that I am
incapable of such a deed: I will not (as I might) point to the
strong moral purpose of this poem itself, to the arithmetical
principles so cautiously inculcated in it, or to its noble
teachings in Natural History—I will take the more prosaic
course of simply explaining how it happened.
{T}he Bellman, who w{A}s almost morbid{L}y sensitive abo{U}t
appearances, u{S}ed to have the bo(WS)prit unshipped once or
twice a week to be revarnished, and it more than once happened,
when the time came for replacing it, that no one on board
could remember which end of the ship it belonged to.

Rule 42 of the Code, “No one shall speak to the Man at the Helm,”
had been compl(E)ted by the Bel(L)man himself w(I)th the
words “a(N)d the Man at the Helm shall speak to no one.”
So remonstranc(E) was impossib(L)e, and no steer(I)ng
could be do(N)e till the next varnishing day. During these
bewildering intervals the ship usually sailed *BACKWARDS*.

Fit the First. THE LANDING.
“Just the place for a {SNARK}!” the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
“Just the place for a {SNARK}! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a {SNARK}! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is *TRUE*.”
The crew was complete: it included a Boots—
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—
A Barrister, brought to arrange their dispute{S}—
A{N}d {A} B{R}o{K}er, to value their goods.
{SNARK} 2
.......................................................

While, for those who preferred a more forcible word,
He had different names from these:
His intimate friends called him “Candle-ends,”
And his enemies “Toasted-cheese.”
“His form is ungainly—his intellect small—”
(So the Bellman would often remark)
“But his courage is perfect! And that, after all,
Is the thing that one needs with a {SNARK}.”
He would joke with hyænas, returning their stare
With an impudent wag of the head:
And he once went a walk, paw-in-paw, with a bear,
“Just to keep up its spirits,” he said.
He came as a B[A]ker: but owned, when too late—
And it drove the poor Bel[L]man half-mad—
He could only bake Bridecake—for which, [I] may state,
No materials were to be had.
The last of the [C]rew needs especial remark,
Though he looked an incr[E]dible dunce:
He had just one idea—but, that one being “Snark,”
The good Bellman engaged him at once.

He came as a Butcher: but gravely declared,
When the ship had been sailing a week,
He could only kill Beavers. The Bellman looked scared,
And was almost too frightened to speak:
But at length he explained, in a tremulous tone,
There was only one Beaver on board;
And that was a tame one he had of his own,
Whose {DEATH} would be deeply deplored.
The Beaver, who happened to hear the remark,
Protested, with tears in its eyes,
That not even the rapture of hunting the {SNARK}
Could atone for that dismal surprise!
It strongly advise[D] that th[E] Butche[R] should [B]e
Conve[Y]ed in a separate ship:
But the Bellman declared that would never agree
With the plans he had made for the trip:
................................................
[DERBY] 7 : Prob. in first Fit ~ 1 in 185
................................................
Navigation was always a difficult art,
Though with only one ship and one bell:
And he feared he must really decline, for his part,
Undertaking another as well.
The Beaver’s best course was, no doubt, to procure
A second-hand dagger-proof coat—
So the Baker advised it—an{D} next, to insure
Its life in some Office of note:
This the Bank{E}r suggested, and offered for hire
(On moderate terms), or for s{A}le,
Two excellent Policies, one Against Fire,
And one Agains{T} Damage From Hail.
Yet still, ever after that sorrowful day,
W{H}enever the Butcher was by,
The Beaver kept looking the oppo{S}ite way,
And appeared unaccountably shy.

Fit the Second. THE BELLMAN’S SPEECH.
.................................................
But the principal failing occurred in the sailing,
And the Bellman, *PER(P)LEXED* and distressed,
Sa(I)d he had hoped, at least, w{H|E)n the wind blew (D)u(E) E(A)s(T),
{T|H)at the ship would not tr{A}vel due West!
But the dang{E}r was past—they had lande{D} at la(S)t,
Wi(T)h th(E)ir b(O)xes, (P)ortmanteaus, and bags:
Yet at first sight the crew were not pleased with the view,
Which consisted of chasms and crags.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Sterne
<<[L]aurence [STERNE] (24 November 1713 – 18 March 1768) was an Irish
novelist and an Anglican clergyman. He wrote the novels The Life and
Opinions of {T}ristram {SHANDY}, Gentleman and A Sentimental Journey
Through France and Italy, and also published many sermons, wrote memoirs,
and was involved in local politics. Less than a month after Sentimental
Journey was published, early in 1768, Sterne's strength failed him, and
he died in his lodgings at 41 Old Bond Street on 18 March, at the age
of 54. He was buried in the churchyard of St George's, Hanover Square.
Sterne's skull was stolen shortly after it was interred and sold to
anatomists at Cambridge University. Charles Collignon discreetly
reinterred his skull back in St George's, in an unknown plot.
.
A year later a group of *FREEMASONS* erected a memorial stone with
David Garrick's rhyming epitaph near to his original burial place.
.
. Shall pride a heap of sculptur'd marble raise,
. Some worthless, unmourn'd titled fool to praise;
. And shall we not by one poor grave-stone learn
. Where genius, wit, and humour sleep with [STERNE]? >>

Patch portrayed the consumptive Sterne as {T}ristram {SHANDY}
bowing to [DEATH] , who has just knocked on his door.

Volume 7 of {T}ristram {SHANDY} opens
with the hero’s memorable flight from [DEATH]:
NO——I think, I said, I would write two volumes every year,
provided the vile cough which then tormented me, and which to
this hour I dread worse than the devil, would but give me leave ...
NOW as for my spirits, little have I to lay to their charge ... in no one

himself knocked at my door——ye bad him come again; and in so gay a tone of
careless indifference, did ye do it, that he doubted of his commission——
“——There must certainly be some mistaken in this matter,” quoth he.

“A dear uncle of mine (after whom I was named)
Remarked, when I bade him farewell—”
“Oh, skip your dear uncle!” the Bellman exclaimed,
As he angrily tingled his bell.
“He remarked to me then,” said that mildest of men,
“‘If your {SNARK} be a {SNARK}, that is right:
Fetch it home by all means—you may serve it with greens,
And it’s handy for striking a light.
“‘You may seek it with thimbles—and seek it with care;
You may hunt it with forks and hope;
You may threaten its life with a railway-share;
You may charm it with smiles and soap—’”
(“That’s exactly the method,” the Bellman bold
In a hasty parenthesis cried,
“That’s exactly the way I have always been told
That the capture of Snarks should be tried!”)
“’But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
If your {SNARK} be a {BOOJ-u}m! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!’
“It is this, it is this that opp(R)esses my so(U)l,
When I thi(N)k of my uncl(E)’s last word(S):
And my heart is like nothing so much as a bowl
Brimming over with quivering curds!

“It is this, it is this—” “We have had that before!”
The Bellman indignantly said.
And the Baker replied “Let me say it once more.
It is this, it is this that I dread!
“I engage with the {SNARK}—every night after dark—
In a dreamy delirious fight:
I serve it with greens in those shadowy scenes,
And I use it for striking a light:
“But if ever I meet with a {BOOJ-u}m, that day,
In a moment (of this I am sure),
I shall softly and suddenly vanish away—
And the notion I cannot endure!”

(This man, that they used to call “Dunce.”)
“As the Bellman would tell you,” he added with pride,
“I have uttere[D] that sentiment once.
“’Tis the not[E] of the Ju{B}jub! Keep count, I entre[A]t;

Fit the Sixth. THE BARRISTER’S DREAM.
...............................................................
He [i.e., the Barrister] dreamed that he stood in a shadowy Court,
Where the {SNARK}, with a *GLASS* in its eye,
Dressed in gown, bands, and wig, was defending a *PIG*
On the charge of deserting its *STY*.
The Witnesses proved, without error or flaw,
That the *STY* was deserted when found:
................................................
“In the matter of Treason the *PIG* would appear
To have aided, but scarcely abetted:
While the charge of Insolvency fails, it is clear,
If you grant the plea ‘never indebted.’
................................................
But the Judge said he never had summed up before;
So the {SNARK} undertook it instead,
And summed it so well that it came to far more
Than the Witnesses ever had said!
When the VERDict was called for, the Jury declined,
As the word was so puzzling to spell;
But they ventured to hope that the {SNARK} wouldn’t mind
Undertaking that duty as well.
So the {SNARK} found the VERDict, although, as it owned,
It was spent with the toils of the day:
When it said the word “GUILTY!” the Jury all groaned,
And some of them fainted away.
Then the {SNARK} pronounced sentence, the Judge being quite
Too nervous to utter a word:
When it rose to its feet, there was silence like night,
And the fall of a pin might be heard.
“Transportation for life” was the sentence it gave,
“And then to be fined *FORTY* pound.”

“There is Thingumbob shouting!” the Bellman said.
“He is shouting like mad, only hark!
He is waving his hands, he is wagging his head,
He has certainly found a Snark!”
They gazed in delight, while the Butcher exclaimed
“He was always a desperate wag!”
They beheld him—their Baker—their hero unnamed—
On the top of a neighbouring crag,
Erect and sublime, for one moment of time.
In the next, that wild figure they saw
(As if stung by a spasm) plunge into a chasm,
While they waited and listened in awe.
“It’s a Snark!” was the sound that first came to their ears,
And seemed almost too good to be *TRUE*.
Then followed a torrent of laughter and cheers:
Then the ominous words “It’s a Boo–”
Then, silence. Some fancied they heard in the air
A weary and wan[D]ering sigh
That sound[E]d like “–jum!” but the othe[R]s declare
It was only a [B]reeze that went by.

Not a button, or feather, or mark,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stanley,_6th_Earl_of_Derby
<<William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby, KG (1561 – 29 September 1642) travelled to the continent in 1582 to study in university towns in France and may also have attended Henry of Navarre's academy at Nérac. In 1585 he was sent to Paris as part of an embassy to Henry III of France. During his travels, William Stanley is said to have been involved in duels and love affairs and travelling in disguise as a friar while in Italy. He is supposed to have also visited Egypt, where he fought and killed a tiger, then going on to Anatolia, where it is claimed he narrowly escaped being executed for insulting the prophet Mohammed; he was supposedly released because a Muslim noblewoman wanted to marry him. According to the story, he turned her down, travelling on to Moscow and then to Greenland, from where he returned to Europe in a whaling ship. These colourful adventures are traceable to a popular ballad entitled Sir William Stanley's Garland: "twenty one years travels through most parts of the world".>>

A Most Auspicious Star
by Richard J. Kennedy
<<When the text is glossed by the scholars, they often take *SEREN* to be a misspelling, and report the word as ‘serene’, which is fine in context, but perhaps the writer is playing with us and he really means ‘Seren’ exactly as it’s printed.
Those two exceptions may only be the sort of haggard type-setting and approximate spelling often found in texts of that time. Yet if not a mere fumbling of some apprentice printer’s devil, why set the name William Shakespeare and Seren in typographic company, perhaps drawing Seren to our special attention in this large field of otherwise italic type?
A pleasing answer might be that Seren is the Welsh word for “Star”… and that we are to take the word as an epithet for De Vere because a single star is quartered in his shield, and we might remember that the Chorus in Henry V proclaims the king to be “this star of England”. The phrase is also the happy choice for the title of the Oxford biography by Charlton and Dorthy Ogburn.>>

<<Artegal is the personification & champion of Justice. Artegal has
a companion in [TALUS], a metal man who wields a flail & never sleeps
or tires but will mercilessly pursue and kill any number of villains.
[TALUS] obeys Artegal's command, and serves to represent justice
without mercy (hence, Artegal is the more human face of justice).
Later, [TALUS] does not rescue Artegal from enslavement by the wicked
Radigund, because Artegal is bound by a legal contract to serve her.>>

In view of this painful possibility, I will not (as I might)
appeal indignantly to my other writings as a proof that I am
incapable of such a deed: I will not (as I might) point to the
strong moral purpose of this poem itself, to the arithmetical
principles so cautiously inculcated in it, or to its noble
teachings in Natural History—I will take the more prosaic
course of simply explaining how it happened.
{T}he Bellman, who w{A}s almost morbid{L}y sensitive abo{U}t
appearances, u{S}ed to have the bo(WS)prit unshipped once or
twice a week to be revarnished, and it more than once happened,
when the time came for replacing it, that no one on board
could remember which end of the ship it belonged to.

So remonstranc(E) was impossib(L)e, and no steer(I)ng

Fit the First. THE LANDING.
“Just the place for a {SNARK}!” the Bellman cried,
As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.
“Just the place for a {SNARK}! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a {SNARK}! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is *TRUE*.”
The crew was complete: it included a Boots—
A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—
A Barrister, brought to arrange their dispute{S}—
A{N}d {A} B{R}o{K}er, to value their goods.

While, for those who preferred a more forcible word,
He had different names from these:
His intimate friends called him “Candle-ends,”
And his enemies “Toasted-cheese.”
“His form is ungainly—his intellect small—”
(So the Bellman would often remark)
“But his courage is perfect! And that, after all,
Is the thing that one needs with a {SNARK}.”
He would joke with hyænas, returning their stare
With an impudent wag of the head:
And he once went a walk, paw-in-paw, with a bear,
“Just to keep up its spirits,” he said.
He came as a B[A]ker: but owned, when too late—
And it drove the poor Bel[L]man half-mad—
He could only bake Bridecake—for which, [I] may state,
No materials were to be had.
The last of the [C]rew needs especial remark,
Though he looked an incr[E]dible dunce:
He had just one idea—but, that one being “Snark,”
The good Bellman engaged him at once.

He came as a Butcher: but gravely declared,
When the ship had been sailing a week,
He could only kill Beavers. The Bellman looked scared,
And was almost too frightened to speak:
But at length he explained, in a tremulous tone,
There was only one Beaver on board;
And that was a tame one he had of his own,
Whose {DEATH} would be deeply deplored.
The Beaver, who happened to hear the remark,
Protested, with tears in its eyes,
That not even the rapture of hunting the {SNARK}
Could atone for that dismal surprise!
It strongly advise[D] that th[E] Butche[R] should [B]e
Conve[Y]ed in a separate ship:
But the Bellman declared that would never agree
With the plans he had made for the trip:
................................................
[DERBY] 7 : Prob. in first Fit ~ 1 in 185
................................................
Navigation was always a difficult art,
Though with only one ship and one bell:
And he feared he must really decline, for his part,
Undertaking another as well.
The Beaver’s best course was, no doubt, to procure
A second-hand dagger-proof coat—
So the Baker advised it—an{D} next, to insure
Its life in some Office of note:
This the Bank{E}r suggested, and offered for hire
(On moderate terms), or for s{A}le,
Two excellent Policies, one Against Fire,
And one Agains{T} Damage From Hail.
Yet still, ever after that sorrowful day,
W{H}enever the Butcher was by,
The Beaver kept looking the oppo{S}ite way,
And appeared unaccountably shy.

But the principal failing occurred in the sailing,

Sa(I)d he had hoped, at least, w{H|E)n the wind blew (D)u(E) E(A)s(T),
{T|H)at the ship would not tr{A}vel due West!
But the dang{E}r was past—they had lande{D} at la(S)t,

Yet at first sight the crew were not pleased with the view,
Which consisted of chasms and crags.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Sterne
<<[L]aurence [STERNE] (24 November 1713 – 18 March 1768) was an Irish
novelist and an Anglican clergyman. He wrote the novels The Life and
Opinions of {T}ristram {SHANDY}, Gentleman and A Sentimental Journey
Through France and Italy, and also published many sermons, wrote memoirs,
and was involved in local politics. Less than a month after Sentimental
Journey was published, early in 1768, Sterne's strength failed him, and
he died in his lodgings at 41 Old Bond Street on 18 March, at the age
of 54. He was buried in the churchyard of St George's, Hanover Square.
Sterne's skull was stolen shortly after it was interred and sold to
anatomists at Cambridge University. Charles Collignon discreetly
reinterred his skull back in St George's, in an unknown plot.
.
A year later a group of *FREEMASONS* erected a memorial stone with
David Garrick's rhyming epitaph near to his original burial place.
.
. Shall pride a heap of sculptur'd marble raise,
. Some worthless, unmourn'd titled fool to praise;
. And shall we not by one poor grave-stone learn
. Where genius, wit, and humour sleep with [STERNE]? >>

Ulysses (last 20 lines)
...the poor donkeys slipping half asleep and the vague fellows in the
CLOAKS asleep in the shade on the steps and the big wheels of the carts
of the bulls and the old castle thousands of years old YES and those
handsome Moors all in white and turbans like kings asking you to sit down
in their litt[L]e bit of a shop and Ronda with the old windows of the
posadas glancing eYE[S] a lattice hid for her lover to ki{S}s {T}h{E} i{R}o{N}
and the WINEshops half open a[T] night and the castanets and the night we
missed the boat at Algeciras th[E] watchman going about serene with his
lamp and O that awful deepdown tor[R]ent O and the sea the sea crimson
sometimes like fire and the glorious su[N]sets and the figtrees in the
Alameda gardens YES and all the queer littl[E] streets and pink and blue
and yellow houses and the rosegardens and the jessamine and geraniums
and cactuses and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the
mountain YES when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls
used or shall I wear a red YES and how he kissed me under the Moorish
wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with
my eYES to ask again YES and then he asked me would I YES to say YES my
mountain flower and first I put my arms around him YES and drew him
down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume YES and
his heart was going like mad and YES I said YES I will YES.

“A dear uncle of mine (after whom I was named)
Remarked, when I bade him farewell—”
“Oh, skip your dear uncle!” the Bellman exclaimed,
As he angrily tingled his bell.
“He remarked to me then,” said that mildest of men,
“‘If your {SNARK} be a {SNARK}, that is right:
Fetch it home by all means—you may serve it with greens,
And it’s handy for striking a light.
“‘You may seek it with thimbles—and seek it with care;
You may hunt it with forks and hope;
You may threaten its life with a railway-share;
You may charm it with smiles and soap—’”
(“That’s exactly the method,” the Bellman bold
In a hasty parenthesis cried,
“That’s exactly the way I have always been told
That the capture of Snarks should be tried!”)
“’But oh, beamish nephew, beware of the day,
If your {SNARK} be a {BOOJ-u}m! For then
You will softly and suddenly vanish away,
And never be met with again!’
“It is this, it is this that opp(R)esses my so(U)l,
When I thi(N)k of my uncl(E)’s last word(S):
And my heart is like nothing so much as a bowl
Brimming over with quivering curds!
...................................

“It is this, it is this—” “We have had that before!”
The Bellman indignantly said.
And the Baker replied “Let me say it once more.
It is this, it is this that I dread!
“I engage with the {SNARK}—every night after dark—
In a dreamy delirious fight:
I serve it with greens in those shadowy scenes,
And I use it for striking a light:
“But if ever I meet with a {BOOJ-u}m, that day,
In a moment (of this I am sure),
I shall softly and suddenly vanish away—
And the notion I cannot endure!”
-----------------------------------------------------
Fit the Fifth. THE BEAVER’S LESSON.
.......................................................
He thought of his childhood, left far far behind—
That blissful an[D] innocent state—
The sound so [E]xactly recalled to his mind
[A] pencil that squeaks on a sla[T]e!
“’Tis the voice of the Jubjub!” [H]e suddenly cried.
(This man, that they used to call “Dunce.”)
“As the Bellman would tell you,” he added with pride,
“I have uttere[D] that sentiment once.
“’Tis the not[E] of the Ju{B}jub! Keep count, I entre[A]t;
Y{O}u will find I have told it y{O}u [T]wice.
’Tis the song of the {Ju}bjub! T[H]e proof is complete,
If only I’ve stated it thrice.”

Fit the Sixth. THE BARRISTER’S DREAM.
...............................................................
He [i.e., the Barrister] dreamed that he stood in a shadowy Court,
Where the {SNARK}, with a *GLASS* in its eye,
Dressed in gown, bands, and wig, was defending a *PIG*
On the charge of deserting its *STY*.
The Witnesses proved, without error or flaw,
That the *STY* was deserted when found:
................................................
“In the matter of Treason the *PIG* would appear
To have aided, but scarcely abetted:
While the charge of Insolvency fails, it is clear,
If you grant the plea ‘never indebted.’
................................................
But the Judge said he never had summed up before;
So the {SNARK} undertook it instead,
And summed it so well that it came to far more
Than the Witnesses ever had said!
When the VERDict was called for, the Jury declined,
As the word was so puzzling to spell;
But they ventured to hope that the {SNARK} wouldn’t mind
Undertaking that duty as well.
So the {SNARK} found the VERDict, although, as it owned,
It was spent with the toils of the day:
When it said the word “GUILTY!” the Jury all groaned,
And some of them fainted away.
Then the {SNARK} pronounced sentence, the Judge being quite
Too nervous to utter a word:
When it rose to its feet, there was silence like night,
And the fall of a pin might be heard.
“Transportation for life” was the sentence it gave,
“And then to be fined *FORTY* pound.”

They pursued it wi(T)h forks and hope;
They threatened its life with a railw(A)y-share;
They charmed it with smiles and soap.
They shudder(E)d to think that the chase might fail,

“There is Thingumbob shouting!” the Bellman said.
“He is shouting like mad, only hark!
He is waving his hands, he is wagging his head,
He has certainly found a Snark!”
They gazed in delight, while the Butcher exclaimed
“He was always a desperate wag!”
They beheld him—their Baker—their hero unnamed—
On the top of a neighbouring crag,
Erect and sublime, for one moment of time.
In the next, that wild figure they saw
(As if stung by a spasm) plunge into a chasm,
While they waited and listened in awe.
“It’s a Snark!” was the sound that first came to their ears,
And seemed almost too good to be *TRUE*.
Then followed a torrent of laughter and cheers:
Then the ominous words “It’s a Boo–”
Then, silence. Some fancied they heard in the air
A weary and wan[D]ering sigh
That sound[E]d like “–jum!” but the othe[R]s declare
It was only a [B]reeze that went by.
The[Y] hunted till darkness came on, but they found
Not a button, or feather, or mark,
By which they could tell that they stood on the ground

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stanley,_6th_Earl_of_Derby
<<William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby, KG (1561 – 29 September 1642) travelled to the continent in 1582 to study in university towns in France and may also have attended Henry of Navarre's academy at Nérac. In 1585 he was sent to Paris as part of an embassy to Henry III of France. During his travels, William Stanley is said to have been involved in duels and love affairs and travelling in disguise as a friar while in Italy. He is supposed to have also visited Egypt, where he fought and killed a tiger, then going on to Anatolia, where it is claimed he narrowly escaped being executed for insulting the prophet Mohammed; he was supposedly released because a Muslim noblewoman wanted to marry him. According to the story, he turned her down, travelling on to Moscow and then to Greenland, from where he returned to Europe in a whaling ship. These colourful adventures are traceable to a popular ballad entitled Sir William Stanley's Garland: "twenty one years travels through most parts of the world".>>

living avouched ; they had not the fortune by reason of their Infancie
in his death to have the due accomodatio of proportionable glory with
the rest of his *EVER-living* Workes, yet the lines of themselves will
afford you a more authentick approbation than my assurance any way
can, to invite your allowance, in your perusall you shall find them
*SEREN*, cleere and eligantly plaine, such gentle straines as shall
recreate and not *PERPLEXE* your braine, no intricate or cloudy stuffe
to puzzell intellect, but perfect eloquence ; such as will raise your
admiration to his praise: this assurance I know will not differ from
your acknowledgment. And certaine I am, my opinion will be seconded
by the sufficiency of these ensuing lines ; I have beene somewhat
solicitus to bring this forth to the perfect view of all men ;
and in so doing glad to be serviceable for the continuance

A Most Auspicious Star
by Richard J. Kennedy
<<When the text is glossed by the scholars, they often take *SEREN* to be a misspelling, and report the word as ‘serene’, which is fine in context, but perhaps the writer is playing with us and he really means ‘Seren’ exactly as it’s printed.
Those two exceptions may only be the sort of haggard type-setting and approximate spelling often found in texts of that time. Yet if not a mere fumbling of some apprentice printer’s devil, why set the name William Shakespeare and Seren in typographic company, perhaps drawing Seren to our special attention in this large field of otherwise italic type?
A pleasing answer might be that Seren is the Welsh word for “Star”… and that we are to take the word as an epithet for De Vere because a single star is quartered in his shield, and we might remember that the Chorus in Henry V proclaims the king to be “this star of England”. The phrase is also the happy choice for the title of the Oxford biography by Charlton and Dorthy Ogburn.>>
