“[Shakespeare] was thirty before he undertook the completion of his first tragedy, more or less properly so called, Romeo and Juliet, in 1594. Perhaps this ambitious work was his first play designed for the Lord Chamberlain’s Men; as probably his next tragedy five years later, Julius Caesar, was designed for the opening of the Globe. They would have been substantial incentives, the formation of the new company, the erection of the new theatre. In the interim he made many more comedies and histories. . . . It is reasonable to enquire what happened to the man who during 1599 and 1600 probably wrote Henry V, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, who in 1601 wrote Hamlet and followed it during the next five years with . . . with Othello, with King Lear, with Macbeth.

“Since your serene Majesty and your lordships request a simple answer, I shall give it, with no strings and no catches. Unless I am convicted by the testimony of Scripture or plain reason (for I believe neither in the pope nor councils alone since it is agreed they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted, and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I neither can nor will revoke anything, for it is neither safe nor honest to act against one’s conscience. . . . Here I stand, I can do no other.”
