To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On the poet's monument in the Stratford Church only the Shakspere arms are displayed, and those arms alone appear impaled on the seal and on the tombstone of William's eldest daughter, Susannah Hall. On the gravestone of Dr. John Hall, the poet's son-in-law, only the Shakspere arms are impaled with those of Oa/ i r V . -a* Arden arms sketched in the 1599 drift . (Ar - white; Or - gold. Az - blue; Cu-redJ Hall, and the tombstone of Thomas Nash, the first husband of the poet's grandchild, E...lizabeth Hall, shows the arms of Nash, Bulstrode, Hall and Shak- spere, but not those of Arden. (These are reproduced in G. R. French's Shakspeareona Genealogica, London, A GENTLEMAN? 19 1869, pp. 4I3-4I5-) The facts just mentioned, taken in connection with those that follow, prove beyond the possibility of any doubt that the Shakspere arms had been granted and, since the 1599 application was not approved by the Heralds, that the grant must have been made in 1596. The supposition that puritan Dr. Hall would have had those arms sculptured on the poet's Stratford monu- ment, or would have borne them himself, or that the other members of the family would have done so, if the coat had not been granted, is preposterous.
