To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
contains respecting Shakespeare, distinguishing the additions made by Davies by italics : WiUiam Shakespeare was born at Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire, abont 1563-4. Much given to all unluckinesse in stealing venison and rabbits, particularly from Sr , , . . Lucg, who had him oft whipt and sometimes imprisoned, and at last made him fig his native countrg to his great advancem^- but his reveng was so great, that he is his Justice Clodpate, and calls him a great man, and thai in allusion to... his name bore three louses rampant for his arms. From an actor of playes he became a composer. He dyed Apr. 23, 1616, setat. 53, probably at Stratford, for there he is boryed, and hath a monument (Dngd. p. 520), on which he lays a heavy curse upon any one who shal remoove his bones. He dyed a papist. This testimony has been doubted, because no such cha- racter as Clodpate occurs in any of Shakespeare's plays; but it was a generic term of the time for a foolish person, and that Davies so used it, there can, I think, be little doubt.
