I am going to seek funding for my ‘Oregon Shakespeare Society’ that will produce the plays of Shakespeare, and plays that have Fair Rosmond as the subject. Rosmon is the subject of Pre-Raphaelite Artists – and many poets. There will be a Brother and Sisterhood.

Shakespeare to Reverend Wilson
I had originally made Clifford die of a broken Heart, under the S••ction of the Death of King Lear, as originally drawn by that great Master of human Nature. Shakespeare; but the general Opi|nion of the Public, and the Persuasions of my Friends, induced me to vary my Design in the Representation.

Ah, Ladies! no such Queen at Otaheite;
Love there has Roses—without Thorns to fright ye;
Frolick our Days, and to compleat our Joy,
A Coterie’s form’d—’tis call’d the Arreoy,
Where Love is free and general as the Air,
And ev’ry Beau gallants with ev’ry Fair;
No Ceremonies bind, no Rule controuls
But Love, the only Tyrant of our Souls!
