From Venus And Adonis Comments

Shakespeare! ! ! ! He nailed the stallion's response to a mare in heat. Nailed it exactly but let it fly! Let it soar as a matter of fact! Only Shakespeare could get inside the mind and heart and soul of a horse so beautifully! ! ! ! And the mare too! They are often not open to the stallion's passionate bugling... at least at first. The Bible has a stirring description of the horse in Job [I believe]. I'm hard put to say which is better.

Venus and Adonis 'Vilia miretur vulgus; mihi flavus Apollo Pocula Castalia plena ministret aqua.' TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE HENRY WRIOTHESLY, EARL OF SOUTHAMPTON, AND BARON OF TICHFIELD. RIGHT HONORABLE, I KNOW not how I shall offend in dedicating my unpolished lines to your lordship, nor how the world will censure me for choosing so strong a prop to support so weak a burden only, if your honour seem but pleased, I account myself highly praised, and vow to take advantage of all idle hours, till I have honoured you with some graver labour. But if the first heir of my invention prove deformed, I shall be sorry it had so noble a god-father, and never after ear so barren a land, for fear it yield me still so bad a harvest. I leave it to your honourable survey, and your honour to your heart's content; which I wish may always answer your own wish and the world's hopeful expectation. Your honour's in all duty, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE. [shakespeare.mit.edu/]
