Excerpt from The Poems of Shakespeare: With Memoir Mr. Thomas Combe by his will made June 20, 1656, directed his executors to convert all his personal property into money, and to lay it out in the purchase of lands, to be settled on William Combe, the eldest son of John Combe of Allchurch in the county of Worcester, Gent. And his heirs male; re mainder to his two brothers successively. Where, therefore. Our poet's sword has wandered, I have not been able to dis cover. I have taken the trouble to ascertain the ages of Shak speare's friends and relations, and the time of their deaths, be cause we are thus enabled to judge how far the traditions con cerning him which were communicated to Mr. Rowe in the beginning of this century, are worthy of credit.

In 1593 Shakespeare awoke and found himself famous. Lines from his comic, erotic, tragic poem Venus and Adonis were on everyoneÂ's lips.The appearance in 1594 of the darkly reflective and richly descriptive Rape of Lucrece confirmed his fame as 'Sweet Master Shakespeare', Elizabethan England's most brilliant non-dramatic poet. Shorter poems in this volume testify further to ShakespeareÂ's versatility and to his poetic fame. Some, like the much-debated Â'Phoenix and TurtleÂ', pose problems of meaning; others raise questions about authorship and authenticity. Detailed annotation and a full Introduction seek to resolve such difficulties while also locating Shakespeare's poems in their literary context, which includes his own career as a playwright.
