Lang, Andrew, 1844-1912

"Shakespeare, Bacon, and the Great Unknown"

If Chettle is not to be thus tautly construed, I confess
that to myself he seems to have had Shakspere, even Will, in his
mind. For Will in 1592 had "a quality which he professed," that of
an actor; and also (I conceive) was reported to have " facetious
grace in writing." But other gentlemen may have combined these
attributes; wherefore I lay no stress on the statements of Chettle,
as if they referred to our Will Shakspere.
