(289) Who was William Vaughan (part3)? Dedicatory poems reveal a "divided" or "doubled" personality...

William Vaughan (similar to Shake-speare) 

belonged to the Multiplicity of Pseudonyms of the poet-genius Marlowe!

(Last 12 lines of Thomas Storer's 
dedicatorie Poem entitled "To Master Vaughan
 the Author of the Golden-grave" (1599)
(Last 10 lines of John Raulinson's
 dedicatorie Poem entitled "To  the Author"  (1599)


_____________________________________________________________________________




At the height of Shakespeare's career in 1599 3 books with 170 chapters (I/69,II/30,II/70) entitled
                                     " The Golden-groue,

moralized in three books: a work very necessary for all such as would know how to gouerne themselues, their houses, or their country"  were written by a highly cultured and knowledgable cosmopolitain author W.Vaughan, Master of Artes und student in Civill Law.

The initial poems of dedication of Thomas Storer and John Raulinson to William Vaughan clearly reveal that they are not adressed to a singular person but two different personal entities  to himself (Alias Vaughan) and someone else-.(see Faksimile excerpt!).

In Thomas Storer's poem he clearly differentiates between the one (Thou / thee/ thy -"-amongst the learned"-   "worke shall live" , paine...,muse) and the other (he/his./.his name , his fame....) 

John Raulinsons Poem also differentiates between Thou (thine, thy...art, - hast effected ...make men ...,hast made manners, thy pen ) and He (his - not his art, he never began, his rich touch )

There are significant arguments that William Vaughan (similar to Shake-speare) belonged to the multiplicity of pseudonyms of the poet-genius Marlowe!
( As implausible and absurd as it may sound without a background knowledge !)
