Ai, they were jealous because that is a very fine portrait that inspires wibblies of joy and a deep desire to hunt down my own personal muse. Oh where is she now, the trollop.
Shakespeare and Southampton by @zangull (Zan Gullo)
The bard and his beloved earl.. this was banned from Elfwood. leers maliciously He's kind of acting as 'muse' more than 'patron' but.. it's sweet, huh? yes it is.
"To the sole begetter of these sonnets: W.C."
