https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Smith_(diplomat)
<<Sir Thomas Smith (23 December 1513 – 12 August 1577) was an English scholar, parliamentarian and diplomat born at Saffron Walden in Essex. He was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he became a fellow in 1530. In 1540 Smith went abroad, and, after studying in France and Italy and taking a degree in law at the University of Padua, returned to Cambridge in 1542. He took the lead in the reform of the pronunciation of Greek.
Sir Thomas was an early convert to Protestantism, which brought him into prominence when Edward VI came to the throne being appointed Secretary of State. He was made the Secretary of State, and was sent on an important diplomatic mission to Brussels. In 1548 he was knighted. On the accession of Queen Mary I he lost all his offices, but in the reign of her sister, Elizabeth I, was prominently employed in public affairs. He had long been a friend of Sir William Cecil. Burghley appointed Smith to the Privy Council. He was noted as upholding a religious objection to torture. His outstanding work elevated him to the higher ministerial echelons; being appointed in 1572 Chancellor of the Order of the Garter and in July, Principal Secretary.
In 1571, Elizabeth I, a great believer in colonization, granted Smith 360,000 acres of East Ulster. The empty lands were to be used to plant English settlers in an effort to control areas claimed by Clandeboye O’Neill territory and thus control the native Irish.
Sir William Smith's daughter *FRANCES* married Sir Matthew Brend, owner of the land on which the first and second Globe Theatres was built. Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, was brought up in Smith's house and his early education was supervised by him.>>

{SPENSER's} The Faerie Queene: Book V, the Book of Justice.

<<Artegal is the personification and 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 *MOIRAI* (Greek: Μοῖραι, "apportioners"), often known in English as the *FATES* (Latin: FATAe), were the white-robed incarnations of destiny. In Plato's Republic the Three *FATES* are daughters of *ANANKE* (necessity). The cosmogony of Anaximander is based on these mythical beliefs. The goddess Dike (justice, divine retribution), keeps the order and sets a limit to any actions.>>

draw near the island he either threw boulders at them

such that the ICHOR, his life force, FLOWED out of him.>>

From 1587 to 1593 he was in the service of an unidentified noble, since, after his imprisonment in 1593, he wrote of having lost "the favours of my (Lor[D]), whom I haue servd almost theis vi yeres nowe".

Robert Dudley, meanwhile Earl of Leicester, had arranged the match. It was an extraordinary court event [in which Edward de Vere & Edward Manners were pages]. In between tournaments and banquets [and cannon exploding killing the Queen's master gunner Robert Thomas], the bride was given away by the Earl of Leicester; she later became one of Elizabeth's closest friends.>>

<<Ambrose Dudley, earl of Warwick (1561-1590) and brother of Robert Dudley (earl of Leicester), was patron of a playing company in 1559-64, and again in 1572-5. Both configurations were active in the provinces, and both appeared at court.
The earlier of the companies was formed before Ambrose received the earldom. Under the name of Lord Dudley's players, the company performed at Gloucester, Bristol, Norwich, Cambridge, and Bridgwater and Winchester. As the Earl of Warwick's players, the company performed at Grimsby, Oxford (8 June 1562), Lydd, Exeter, Plymouth, and Grimsthorpe; their venues were usually guild or common halls, but at Grimsthorpe they performed the hall at Grimsthorpe Castle (1562). Stops along the southeastern circuit included Dover and Lydd in addition to Canterbury. The company gave two performances at court during Christmas, 1564-5.
The later company had a much lighter touring schedule, 1572-5. It performed at Tavistock and Coventry; its venue at Tavistock was St. Eustachius' Church. It also visited Leicester in 1574-5 and Lichfield on 27 July 1575, as well as Grimsby in 1575-6. Queen Elizabeth was on progress in the summer of 1575, and the earl of Warwick was in attendance; his players "played before the queen in Lichfield at the beginning of August". In comparison with the earlier company, this one appeared frequently at court: 14 Feb 1574-5; 26 Dec, 1 Jan, and 6 March, 1575-6; 26 Dec and 18 Feb, 1576-7; 28 Dec, 6 Jan, and 9 Feb, 1577-8; 26 Dec and 1 March, 1578-9; and 1 Jan 1580. Furthermore, the Revels Accounts name five of their plays, all now lost: The Painter's Daughter, The Irish Knight, The Three Sisters of Mantua, The Knight in the Burning Rock, and A History of the Four Sons of Fabius. In 1575-6 the payees for the company at court were John Dutton, his brother Lawrence Dutton, and Jerome Savage. Their stories with the company include the playhouse at Newington.
Jerome Savage was "the leader of Warwick's" players in 1575. This leadership is most manifest in his involvement with the business end of the playhouse at Newington. In 1576 Savage had lodgings on the property where the playhouse would (or already did) stand. He financed its building "out of his own resources", a most remarkable and perhaps unique circumstance at the time (as James Burbage would use his brother-in-law's financial resources). In 1577 Savage was sued by the owners of the property over his lease, and they used boilerplate prejudicial language about Savage and the theatrical profession to enhance their case, calling Savage "'a verrie lewed fealowe and liveth by noe other trade then playinge of staige plaies and Interlevdes'". Nonetheless, Savage and his company continued to perform at the Newington playhouse until 1580, at which time Warwick's players broke up. Savage subsequently disappeared from theatrical records, but his will on 30 Jan 1587 indicates that he had moved to London with his family; he was buried in St. Peter Westcheap.
John and Lawrence Dutton were veteran players when they joined Savage in Warwick's troupe. One, if not both, had been with Sir Robert Lane's men in 1571-2 and the earl of Lincoln's men until they joined Warwick's in 1575. They stayed until 1580, then left to form a new company, the earl of Oxford's players . During this time the brothers had a presence in London. A brothel keeper complained to the governors of Bridewell Hospital that one of his women had been taken by Lawrence to "one Horspoll at the Bell beyond Shorditche chirche"; he added that "there is two bretherenn and by reporte both their wyves are whores". The Duttons (at least Lawrence) were notorious as knaves in business and personal behavior in a profession generally but falsely notorious for knavery. Nonetheless, John Dutton joined the Queen's players in 1583 at their inception, and Lawrence was a member by 1589.>>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Smith_(diplomat)
<<Sir Thomas Smith (23 December 1513 – 12 August 1577) was an English scholar, parliamentarian and diplomat born at Saffron Walden in Essex. He was educated at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he became a fellow in 1530. In 1540 Smith went abroad, and, after studying in France and Italy and taking a degree in law at the University of Padua, returned to Cambridge in 1542. He took the lead in the reform of the pronunciation of Greek.
Sir Thomas was an early convert to Protestantism, which brought him into prominence when Edward VI came to the throne being appointed Secretary of State. He was made the Secretary of State, and was sent on an important diplomatic mission to Brussels. In 1548 he was knighted. On the accession of Queen Mary I he lost all his offices, but in the reign of her sister, Elizabeth I, was prominently employed in public affairs. He had long been a friend of Sir William Cecil. Burghley appointed Smith to the Privy Council. He was noted as upholding a religious objection to torture. His outstanding work elevated him to the higher ministerial echelons; being appointed in 1572 Chancellor of the Order of the Garter and in July, Principal Secretary.
In 1571, Elizabeth I, a great believer in colonization, granted Smith 360,000 acres of East Ulster. The empty lands were to be used to plant English settlers in an effort to control areas claimed by Clandeboye O’Neill territory and thus control the native Irish.
Sir William Smith's daughter *FRANCES* married Sir Matthew Brend, owner of the land on which the first and second Globe Theatres was built. Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, was brought up in Smith's house and his early education was supervised by him.>>

<<Artegal is the personification and 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.>>

LEave off to write, spare speech a space, be [M]ute O muse of mine:
Let blubring teares bede[A]w thy face, O waile with weeping eyne:
The cou[R]se of life that drawes but breth, in dollor a[L]l his dayes:
Till hart stringes burst, till h[OWE]r of death, til pilgrim goes his wayes.

<<In October 1565 Thomas [KYD] (6 November 1558 - 15 August 1594) was enrolled with Thomas Lodge (1558 – Sept. 1625) & Edmund Spenser (1552 – Jan. 13, 1599) in the Merchant Taylors' School. From 1587 to 1593 he was in the service of an unidentified noble, since, after his imprisonment in 1593, he wrote of having lost "the favours of my (Lor[D]), whom I haue servd almost theis vi yeres nowe". Around 1591 [KIT MARLOWE] also joined this patron's service, and for a while [KIT MARLOWE] and [KYD] shared lodgings.>>

<<On 11 November 1565 Ambrose Dudley married for the third time. His bride was the 16-year-old Anne Russell, daughter of Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford. Robert Dudley, meanwhile Earl of Leicester, had arranged the match. It was an extraordinary court event [in which Edward de Vere & Edward Manners were pages]. In between tournaments and banquets [and cannon exploding killing the Queen's master gunner Robert Thomas], the bride was given away by the Earl of Leicester; she later became one of Elizabeth's closest friends.>>
......................................................................
Vaine pomp is but a puffe or toy, so is both rule and raigne:
For all that heere we do enioy, is nought but woe and paine:
Hast thou not seene the highest tree, receive his falling blowe?
Death hath respect to no degree, when life from hence must goe.
Satte Leyster not in Senate seate, as hye as man might clime?
Was never heere, none halfe so great, nor happy in our time.
Yet loe, a so daine leave he tooke, and went where God assignd:
His Brother that like Mars did looke, a man of noble minde.
Who all good men (D)id praise and love, is packt from us in poste:
Thus when of force men m(U)st remoove, and world desires hi[M] most.
His glasse is run, his date is (D)oone, [A]nd he must bid farwell:
to all the pleasu[R]es under {S}unne, and a(L)l that heere do dwe[L]l.
B{U}t Warwick that won great good wil{L}, t[O]o soone was hastned hence:
For W{A}rwick was *MOST WARLIKE* still, to s{T}and in r(I)ghtes defence.

<<Ambrose Dudley, earl of Warwick (1561-1590) and brother of Robert Dudley (earl of Leicester), was patron of a playing company in 1559-64, and again in 1572-5. Both configurations were active in the provinces, and both appeared at court.
The earlier of the companies was formed before Ambrose received the earldom. Under the name of Lord Dudley's players, the company performed at Gloucester, Bristol, Norwich, Cambridge, and Bridgwater and Winchester. As the Earl of Warwick's players, the company performed at Grimsby, Oxford (8 June 1562), Lydd, Exeter, Plymouth, and Grimsthorpe; their venues were usually guild or common halls, but at Grimsthorpe they performed the hall at Grimsthorpe Castle (1562). Stops along the southeastern circuit included Dover and Lydd in addition to Canterbury. The company gave two performances at court during Christmas, 1564-5.
The later company had a much lighter touring schedule, 1572-5. It performed at Tavistock and Coventry; its venue at Tavistock was St. Eustachius' Church. It also visited Leicester in 1574-5 and Lichfield on 27 July 1575, as well as Grimsby in 1575-6. Queen Elizabeth was on progress in the summer of 1575, and the earl of Warwick was in attendance; his players "played before the queen in Lichfield at the beginning of August". In comparison with the earlier company, this one appeared frequently at court: 14 Feb 1574-5; 26 Dec, 1 Jan, and 6 March, 1575-6; 26 Dec and 18 Feb, 1576-7; 28 Dec, 6 Jan, and 9 Feb, 1577-8; 26 Dec and 1 March, 1578-9; and 1 Jan 1580. Furthermore, the Revels Accounts name five of their plays, all now lost: The Painter's Daughter, The Irish Knight, The Three Sisters of Mantua, The Knight in the Burning Rock, and A History of the Four Sons of Fabius. In 1575-6 the payees for the company at court were John Dutton, his brother Lawrence Dutton, and Jerome Savage. Their stories with the company include the playhouse at Newington.
Jerome Savage was "the leader of Warwick's" players in 1575. This leadership is most manifest in his involvement with the business end of the playhouse at Newington. In 1576 Savage had lodgings on the property where the playhouse would (or already did) stand. He financed its building "out of his own resources", a most remarkable and perhaps unique circumstance at the time (as James Burbage would use his brother-in-law's financial resources). In 1577 Savage was sued by the owners of the property over his lease, and they used boilerplate prejudicial language about Savage and the theatrical profession to enhance their case, calling Savage "'a verrie lewed fealowe and liveth by noe other trade then playinge of staige plaies and Interlevdes'". Nonetheless, Savage and his company continued to perform at the Newington playhouse until 1580, at which time Warwick's players broke up. Savage subsequently disappeared from theatrical records, but his will on 30 Jan 1587 indicates that he had moved to London with his family; he was buried in St. Peter Westcheap.
John and Lawrence Dutton were veteran players when they joined Savage in Warwick's troupe. One, if not both, had been with Sir Robert Lane's men in 1571-2 and the earl of Lincoln's men until they joined Warwick's in 1575. They stayed until 1580, then left to form a new company, the earl of Oxford's players . During this time the brothers had a presence in London. A brothel keeper complained to the governors of Bridewell Hospital that one of his women had been taken by Lawrence to "one Horspoll at the Bell beyond Shorditche chirche"; he added that "there is two bretherenn and by reporte both their wyves are whores". The Duttons (at least Lawrence) were notorious as knaves in business and personal behavior in a profession generally but falsely notorious for knavery. Nonetheless, John Dutton joined the Queen's players in 1583 at their inception, and Lawrence was a member by 1589.>>
