Shakespeare's great contemporary with a tin ear/Fascinating.Can't br Marlowe or Spenser. Or Ben Jnson surely.Must be Donne. You are not alone, Williamb. 'Donne's muse on dromedary trots' says Colerdidge. And he was out of favour till the 20th century. Nobody HAS to like anyone. Tolstoy couldn't get along with Shakespeare, as I say far too often. W.S. Gilbert didn't think much of him either. Keep on coming up with them, Willamb. Your posts are always worth reading.
