Brother Shakespeare?
Thought to have been born about April 23, 1564, William Shakespeare seems to have known something of Freemasonry:
"Whence come you?" (Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 4, Scene 5)
"Let's part on the word." (Love's Labor Lost, Act 4, Scene 2)
"Guard the door without. Let him not pass." (Othello, Act 5, Scene 2)
"The singing Masons building roofs of gold." (Henry V, Act 1, Scene 4)
"You made good work, you and your apron men." (Cariolanus, Act 4, Scene 6)
"Where is thy leathern apron and thy rule?"
(Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 1)
"I will, as 'twere a Brother of your Order." (Measure for Measure, Act 1, Scene 4)
"They never meet, but they do square." (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act 2, Scene 1)
