Of course these days when they screw with the virgin queen
they're hoping for a kid named Oscar.

Well said. Incidentally, it is sometimes argued (more in the spirit of
a lawyer than a scholar) that no records survive of Shakespeare's
attendance at the grammar school, but the fact is that no records
survive of anyone's attendance there in that period.

I once came across (in Cambridge University Library, which allows you to
browse its collection, unlike the Bodleian) a book called (I think) *The
Rosicrucians*, by someone called Olive Wagner Driver, which argued (?)
that all Elizabethan literary works of any note (with the sole exception
of Jonson's) were produced by a cabal of noblemen, all illegitimate sons
of Queen Elizabeth. The _Faerie Queene_, for example, was the work of
Leicester, her sixth son. The book, I suspect, was 'donated by the
author'-still, there's nothing like a little Looney-ness to brighten
one's day.
