Excerpt: ...To Shakespeare, to Shakespeare alone, have the Shakespearean poems and plays been a monument; and for him have they done precisely that which the poet says his gentle verse was to do for his friend; and they have not done so in any degree for any other. An anonymous writer in Chambers''s Edinburgh Journal, in August, 1852, seems to have been one of the first to suggest the doubt as Pg 51 to the authorship of the Shakespearean plays. His suggestion was that their real author was some pale, wasted student . with eyes of genius gleaming through despair who found in Shakespeare a purchaser, a publisher, a friend, and a patron. If that theory is correct, the man that penned those Sonnets sleeps, as he said he would, in an unrecorded grave, while his publisher, friend and patron, precisely as he also said, has a place in the Pantheon of the immortals. Very many of these Sonnets seem to be evolved from, or kindred to, the thought so sharply presented in Sonnets LV. and LXXXI. I would refer the reader particularly to Sonnets XXXVIII., XLIX., LXXI., LXXII, and LXXXVIII. The last two lines of Sonnet LXXI. are as follows: Lest the wise world should look into your moan, And mock you with me after I am gone. The first lines of Sonnet LXXII. are as follows: O! lest the world should task you to recite What merit lived in me, that you should love Pg 52 After my death, dear love, forget me quite, For you in me can nothing worthy prove; Unless you would devise some virtuous lie, To do more for me than mine own desert, And hang more praise upon deceased I Than niggard truth would willingly impart: Many of these Sonnets, which otherwise seem entirely inexplicable, and which have for that reason been held to be imitations or strange and unnatural conceits, become true and genuine and much more poetic, if we conceive them to be written, not by the accredited author of the Shakespearean dramas, but by the unnamed and unknown student whose connection with them was...
