| Sonnet 3 in Fidessa, was slightly modified in 1599 as Sonnet 11 in Shakespeares The Passionate Pilgrime, |
A untraceable poet Bartholomew Griffin wrote a series of 62 sophisticated sonnets entitled Fidessa, more chaste than kinde, London, 1596. The dedication to William Essex is followed by an Epistle to the gentlemen of the Innes of Court, from which it can be inferred that the author himself had some relations to the Inns of court.
The third sonnet in Fidessa, beginning ‘Venus and yong Adonis sitting by her,’ was reproduced in 1599 as sonnet 11 in The Passionate Pilgrime, ( a collection of 20 poems by "W. Shakespeare", first published 1599 by William Jaggard ).
The third sonnet in Fidessa, beginning ‘Venus and yong Adonis sitting by her,’ was reproduced in 1599 as sonnet 11 in The Passionate Pilgrime, ( a collection of 20 poems by "W. Shakespeare", first published 1599 by William Jaggard ).
Five of the 20 Shakespearean poems of the "Passionate Pilgrime" were later published again: Poem 1 as Shakespeares Sonnet 138,
