Well, this is what I've managed. Maybe it still needs work.

Some believe the plays of Shake
To be the work of Francis Bac,
While others claim the Earl of Ox
To be the toff who used as prox
An undistinguished man from Strat.
For could, they ask, a mere theat
Write comedies that fizz like cham
And tragedies as deep as Ham?
No! This bard's class must be the upp,
And he must have a mind made supp
In some ancient hall of learn;
For a poet's fancy's better furn
By an Oxford lecture or a serm
Than by carousing at the Merm.
Well, that is what some folks conjec.
I don't believe it for one sec.
