This is the first five verses of a work in progress;
the horizontal lines are already written, by opening
Shakespeare's favourite translation of Ovid, by Arthur
Golding, and copying words down as they catch the eye,
turning the page, at rapid speed. Each odd verse has
written vertically through it words from Shakespeare's
history plays, selected through the concordance; each
even verse is selected through Holinshed's Chronicles
by turning the page and looking for the first word that
contains a letter in the horizontal line....
