MAX ROYAL M. Y. QUILL
We never could understand it. It
must be good, we used to think, bo
cause it was Shakespeares; yet we
nad studied, delved into musty tomes,
a sited qudstidnSf-—- ,aU tb. im. avsui;
It was that uttJe»hg irom ’‘AS iou
lake It,"^ou knbw,^--1 '•
“Under the grUenwood tree' '
!Wno loves to ue with me,” etc.
Study tailing, research in vain, we
decided that tnere was but one tiling
to do, interview, that old bard him
self. That looked difficult at the out
set. Spaketh we sootiuy and quoth
Quill:
“How now, thou fond madman?
What would’st thou be about? Up
• set’st the pans of God and devil to
see the old Bard? - kraut."
“But, gentle coz, what’s that
; ’kraut’?”
“To make it rhime, thou foolish
lout!”
"Tis true, varlet, his life is sped;
but him must we see tonight. Prithee,
wakest up, thou fool, we have a col
. yum to write.”
Through poetic license, we were
soon at Stratford-on-Avon. We ap
proached Shakespeare’s palatial shack
and with much ado about knocking,
finally aroused a Voice.
“We don’t want any,” said the
Voice.
“Where’s William Shakespeare, the
immoral playwright?” asked Quill.
“Down at the Mermaid Tavern, un
der that table behind the door—‘to
Grandmother’s house we go’—,” said
Mrs. Shakespeare. “Poetry is like the
famous Shakespeare nose—it runs in
our family.”
“Hathaway to find out thingth—
athk quethtionth,” I said as we walk
ed off, incidentally ducking a beau
tiful haymaker.
Into the Tavern we strode. Sure
enough, there was Bill, under the
table behind the door—that shielded
the broom that swept the floor, that
provided the dirty cracks for the
House that Sack built.
"Is this Mr. Shakespeare ? 1 ask
ed timidly—I mean, I asked Mr.

“No, I’m not myself today. Who
might you be?”
“Well, we might be Max Royal and
M. Y. Quill, to spoil a good chance
for a joke, and we are. We represent
we added in a whisper, “The Sanford
Express. We came to interview you.”
“Oh, yes, I got your wire.”
Quill nudged me. It was plain ig
norance on Shakespeare’s part. Even
a school boy knows that telegraphy
was invented by Marco Polo, thou
sands of years after Shakespeare’s
death. -> " I
“Mr. Shakespeare, we want you to
explain to us that little poem ‘Under
the greenwood tree’ from ‘As You
Like It’ (E. P. Dutton & Sons, $2.50),
that is, if you are not—er, drinking.”
“You old thing, you,” answered the
Bard of Avon*, “I’m never drunk so
long as I can lie on the floor without
holding on. Well, how does this poem
* ‘Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,—’ ”
“Better pass that up,V said Bill,
with a twinkle in his eye. We knew it
X■ .tilJt i
monocles in those days.
“ ‘And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird’s throat,’ "
Ironed Quill. I
“We want you to explain that!”,
I shouted. I
the Good Gray Poet.
“ ‘Come hither, come hither,
hither,’ ”—=
“Wait,* said Shakey, “I heard you
the first time.”
“You used it thrice—three times,”
expostulated Quill, who doesn’t like
this line. - ,
“Well,” hummed and hawed Shake
speare, "I was getting paid by the
word when I wrote that.”
“Hen you admit that you wrote
it,” I followed up quickly. But Quill
drowned me out
“ ‘Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.’ ”
X laughed outright. “ ‘Hither,’ ”
I said, “and ‘weather,’ ” I added,
“don’t rhime,” I ended with a know
ing glance at the Hdosier School
master.
“Maybe they don’t,” * replied the
Bard, “but I couldn't haus said trough
wither.' That wouldn’t have had any
sense to it.”
