Where are Oxford's annotated books with lines
marked for the plays?

Where are Oxford's play manuscripts?

Where is Oxford's Fair Youth?

It can't be Southampton, he was walking a hugely
pregnant Elizabeth Vernon up the aisle when
the Sonnets began to be written.

Why would Oxford beg him to marry if he was
already married?

When the Sonnets were published Southampton
had four children with another one on the way,
he was balding, he was never pretty to begin with,
and he can't be Oxford's son because he was of
normal height.

On the other hand he was crazy, he provoked
Essex to do treason, in fact Bacon actually saved
Southampton's life with an eloquent plea to the Queen
that Cecil noted in his diary was "like none other he'd
ever heard" ("the quality of mercy is not strained?").

Interestingly, Bacon's mother did a Portia to
Mary Tudor thus saving the Protestant "heretic"
William Cecil from being burned at the stake
with two-hundred and ninety-nine other
Protestants.

Like mother, like son.

Everybody, including The Poet, was begging
William Herbert to marry but he resisted for
many years, only to marry a dwarf with a fortune,
Mary Talbot.  Sadly, dwarves have a short life
span, I think she only lived another six or eight
years.  She may, in fact, been happy with Herbert
because he was notoriously witty in a school yard
sort of way.

He was never mean, always generous and
everyone, especially women, loved him.

Jonson and Herbert were best friends, despite
their great distance in rank, they could pun a
bawdy pun into the ground, I guess it was
one of those cases where maidens should
plug their ears.

And Southampton was hardly "fair."  He wasn't
a beauty but William Herbert was gorgeous, he
had the beautiful Sidney-Dudley coloring. And
pheromones?  Women literally could not leave
him alone.

The Poet is begging Herbert to leave his
rooms at Court (he was a rabid Calvinist, at
age seventeen (my, there's a clue)  he spent the
first year at Court, locked up in his apartment,
writing religious poetry, the reason his mother
appealed to her (probably too close) cousin to
write Sonnets to dislodge young Herbert from
his quarters.

It may have worked too well as Herbert immediately
assumed a very close relationship with his (too close)
cousin Lady Mary Wroth, an exquisite beauty ashamed
of her black hair (blond was in).  Mary was the daughter
of Sir Robert Sidney, her famous full-length portrait
of Mary with Lute still hangs at Penshurst where she
was born.  The pale copies online don't do Mary's
astonishing beauty justice.

I can't think of the name of the author who wrote
the book entitled "The Sidney Family Romance" but
if lovers were listed on genealogical charts,
you would find many of the Sidney-Dudley's close cousins,
in terms of genetics, dangerously close.  Some of the
cousins were genetically as close as sibs because of
the doubling up of genes.

The Sidney-Dudley-Herberts must have been healthy
because Hebert and Lady Mary Wroth produced too
fine children, a boy and a girl, both married very well.

So "Shakespeare" may have left some descendants
after all.
