Who Wrote Shakespeare? .Those interested in the now almost obsolete ob-solete discussion Donnelly vs. Shakespeare Shakes-peare may find a few crumbs of comfort in this: Hamlet overheard Julius Caesar tell King Lear on the Twelfth Night after the Tempest that Anthony and Claopatra had told Coriol anus that Two Gentlemen of Verona were the authors of Shakespeare's Shakes-peare's plays. Lear said: You may take it As You Like It, but I don't believe it, for I heard Romeo and Juliet say Lovo"s Labor was Lost when Trolius and Cres-sida Cres-sida stole the Comedy of Errors and sold it to the Merchant of Venice for a cup of sack and a dish of caraways. Timon of Athens and Cymbeline were parties to the theft, and, after drinking Measure for Measure with the Merry Wives of Windsor, told King John all about it. Richard III, a competent critic, aid Bacon could not write even A Winter's Win-ter's Tale, and Henry VIII said: That settles it, so why make so Much Ado About Nothing? Othello was busy discussing dis-cussing a point of honor with Henry IV, V and VI, and as Richard II was absent Taming the Shrew, I could get no further erridence as to who really did write Shakespeare, but All s Well That Ends Well.
