If the pen is mightier than the sword
Why did the one given the greatest gift by the Lord
Shake a spear?*

Ode to the Latinates



Mica mica
Parva stella
Custodes cognoscent
Sis tam bella*

For you non-Latinates out there, here is the English translation -

Twinkle twinkle
Little star
The happy satellite
Knows where you are ...

On Shakespeare



Literary debate on Shakespeare's sexuality
Has endured centuries and may still more
But I know a Queen once received him
With "Henry - The Avon Lady's at the door!"
