2 Reflections
1.) What may have been the reason that the star witness Ben Jonson in 1600 wrote a lavish praise to Nicholas Breton, in his booke "Melancholicke Humours" but never wrote an eulogy to William Shakespeare during his lifetime, ( only seven years after Shakspere's (Stratford) death 1623 in the First Folio)2.) It is by no means accidental in 1600, that Breton wrote a dedication to his Readers writing: " with:
...Much Ado about nothing...he hath made a piece of worke [s.Faksimile above] and that a Play ("Piece of worke") under that Name appeared in the same year 1600 under the authorname of William Shakespeare? (s.Faksimile above)
