Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 15 of 16 On the 22d of August, 1485, there was a battle fought for the crown of England, a short battle ending in a decisive victory. The battle-field was Bosworth. Was there in that victorious army of the Earl of Richmond, - which Richard denounced as a "company of traitors, thieves, outlaws, and runagates," - an Englishman bearing the name of Chacksper, or Shakespeyre, or Schakespere, or Schakespeire, or Schakspere, or Shakespere, or Shakspere, - a martial name, however spelt? "Breakspear, Shakespear, and the like, have been surnames imposed upon the first bearers of them for valor and feats of arms." Of the warlike achievements of this Shakespeare there is no record: his name or his deeds would have no interest for us unless there had been born, eighty years after this battle-day, a direct descendant from him - "Whose muse, full of high thought´s invention, Doth like himself heroically sound;" a Shakespeare, of whom it is also said - "He seems to shake a lance As brandish´d at the eyes of ignorance."
