TEXT TWO
Young William Shakespeare
by Jennifer Bassett
Introduction-—Everyone knows the name of Shakespeare but not much about his personal life. How did this great,probably the greatest playwright and poet live before he went to London?What were his dreams and ambitions?What about his family? What did he do when he first came to London to try his fortune? The following covers this part of Shakespeare’s life. It is taken from The Life and Times of William Shakespeare written by Jennifer Bassett,who uses Toby, Shakespeare’s countryman and life—long friend,as the narrator of the story.
12.”Of course I can read!” I said。”I went to school。”
13.Will sat up and began to eat another apple. ”I want to be a writer," he said。”A poet. I want that more than anything else in the world.”
24.Susanna was born the next May。Will was very pleased with her。
25.”Look, Toby, she’s got my eyes,” he said happily。"She’s going to be as beautiful as the Queen of Egypt,and as clever as King Solomon.”
26.I didn’t see much of Will's wife。She came from a very serious, Puritan family。Lots of church-going, and no singing or dancing.
27.Soon there was another baby on the way,and one evening in February 1585, I hurried round to Henley Street to hear the news。Will’s sister,Joan,opened the door,and then Will came running down the stairs。
11."Sometimes. Usually it’s all right。” He lay back and put his hands behind his head. ”But we have to read and learn all these Latin writers。I want to read modern writers,and English writers, like Geoffrey Chaucer。Can you read?” he asked.
5."Mr。Nash has gone to the market,” the boy said. "Come on! They're good apples.”
6.The next minute I was up the tree with him. But Will was wrong. Farmer Nash wasn’t at the market,and a few minutes later we saw his enraged red face above the wall on the far side of the field。
31.”Stratford's too small, Toby,” he said。”Too slow。Too quiet。Too monotonous. I've got to get away。"
32.”Yes, but how?” I asked. ”You’ve got a family—three young children,remember。"
33.He didn't answer.
34.In the summer months companies of players often came to small towns, and in 1587 five different companies came. Will and I always went to see the plays. Will loved to talk to the actors and to listen to all their stories of London。
28."It's two of them!” he said. ”Twins! A girl and a boy。Isn't that wonderful?”
29.Will had some good friends,Hamnet and Judith Sadler,and he called the twins after them。John Shakespeare was very pleased to have his first grandson, and everyone was happy. For a while。
1.It was a sunny day in October 1579 when I first met Will,just outside Stratford,near a big orchard。I saw a boy up in one of the trees. He had red hair and looked about two years older than me。
16.”What are we going to do,Toby?” he said to me one day. ”We can't spend all our lives making shoes and gloves!”
17."Well," I said, "we could run away to sea and be sailors。Explore the world,like Francis Drake。”
20.Will was not happy with his writing。"I've got so much to learn,Toby,” he said. ”So much to learn。"
21.Will had a lot to learn about women,too. One day in October 1582,he came to my house with a gloomy face。
19.Will was still reading a lot and he was already writing poems himself。He sometimes showed them to me, and I said they were very good. I didn't really know anything about poetry then, but he was my friend。
30.Will and I still went around together when we could。He was still reading, and writing, and soon I could see a change in him. He was twenty-three now,and he was not happy with his life。
9."I go to Mr。Jenkins’ school in Church Street,” Will said。”Every day,from seven o'clock until five o’clock。Not Sundays,of course。”
10.I was sorry for him。"Isn’t it boring?” I asked。
22.”I’ll never leave Stratford。” he said. ”I’m going to be married in a few weeks’ time。To Anne Hathaway."
23.Will married Anne Hathaway in November,and she came to live in Henley Street. Families cost a lot of money,and John Shakespeare was having a lot of money troubles in those days. Times were hard in Henley Street。
7.Will and I ran like the wind and only stopped when we reached the river。We sat down to eat our apples.
8.Will was fifteen, and lived in Henley Street,he told me。His father was John Shakespeare,and he had a sister, Joan, and two younger brothers,Gilbert and Richard。There was another sister who died, I learnt later。And the next year he had another brother,little Edmund—the baby of the family。
18.Drake sailed back to Plymouth in 1581, after his three-year expedition round the world, but we were still in Stratford。We made lots of plans,but nothing ever came of them.
2.”What are you doing up there?” I called。
3."Just getting a few apples," he said, smiling。
4.”Those are Farmer Nash’s apples,” I said,”and he’ll send his dogs after you if he sees you。"
15.When Will left school,he worked for his father. John Shakespeare was a glove—maker, and he had other business tooห้องสมุดไป่ตู้like buying and selling sheep。But Will wasn’t interested。
14.We were friends from that day,until the day he died。We met nearly every day, and he taught me a lot about books and poetry and writers。He was always diligent in his studies.
