227 i 24-26 Herbert, William, 3rd Earl of Pembroke: omit In December . . . . Lord Hertford.
228 i 6-10 for Other parts of the dedication . . . . Shakespeare's 'Sonnets' read Pembroke and his brother knew Shakespeare in his professional capacity of a king's 'servant,' or member of James I's company of actors, and, like almost all the cultivated nobility, admired Shakespeare's literary genius. In Pembroke, as lord chamberlain, the editors of the greatest dramatic publication of the day naturally sought the patron of their venture. There is no evidence that Pembroke was Shakespeare's special or personal patron or came into any direct personal relations with the poet. No value attaches to the suggestion that the dedication of Shakespeare's 'Sonnets' by Thomas Thorpe [q. v.], owner of the published manuscript,
13-43 for his family name William Herbert . . . . 1890, passim, and esp. pp. 44-73) read what is inaccurately represented to have been his youthful name—William Herbert. Being the eldest son of an earl he was known in all relations of life from the hour of his birth until his father's death as Lord Herbert. When the 'Sonnets,' with this dedication, were published in 1609, Pembroke's rank and dignity rendered it practically impossible that he should be deprived of those customary formalities of
Herbert, William, 3rd Earl of Pembroke: address which played a prominent part in all dedications to him which are extant. Thomas Thorpe, the procurer of the MS. of the 'Sonnets' for purposes of publication, subsequently dedicated two books to Pembroke, and approached him there in the conventional tone of exaggerated subservience. There is no good ground for seeking a clue to the mystery of Shakespeare's 'Sonnets' in the publisher's address to Mr. W. H. All the arguments which would identify Pembroke with the youth for whom Shakespeare in the 'Sonnets' professes affection may safely be neglected. (See Wriothesley, Henry, 3rd Earl of Southampton, and the 'Life of Shakespeare' by the writer of this article)
