The tragedy of Arden of Feversham was indeed connected with Shakespeare and that, as he should proceed to show, only too intimately; but Shakespeare was not connected with it that is, in the capacity of its author. In what capacity would be but too evident when he mentioned the names of the two leading ruffians concerned in the murder of the principal character Black Will and Shakebag.
He hath still that page that same Lutin that goblin? Well, the boy hath set game for me ere now. I will be revenged, too, for I owe him a grudge for an old score at the ordinary. Let me see Black Feltham, and Dick Shakebag we shall want a fourth I love to make sure, and the booty will stand parting, besides what I can bucket them out of. Well, scrivener, lend me two pieces.
Could any capable and fair-minded man he would appeal to their justly honoured Founder require further evidence as to the original of Black Will Shakebag? Another important character in the play was Black Will's accomplice and Arden's servant Michael, after whom the play had also at one time been called Murderous Michael.
Two figures were substituted for one, and the unmistakable name of Will Shakebag was cut in half and divided between them. Care had moreover been taken to disguise the person by altering the complexion of the individual aimed at. That the actual Shakespeare was a fair man they had the evidence of the coloured bust at Stratford.
