my crude sonnet for De Vere

like I said... not worthy, but here it is.


Tell, was there ever so perfect a fit,
like a glove brocaded, donned by the Queen.
Tell, was there ever, more suited for it,
a Bard, surely fated, yet never esteemed?
Precocious child wonder, learn'd in courses.
Ward of 'Polonius.' (Then Hamlet he be?)
Golding, who translates 'Metamorphoses',
lauds his gift of re-telling histories.
Accomplished he was, well traveled, well thought.
Courtier, poet, his players kept near.
Aquainted with glory, treachery, naught.
His "Eyes flash fire. Countenance shakes a speare."
Have you not heard? Then I must tell you, clear.
The name of the Bard, is Edward de Vere.
