* Leonard Digges (1588 - 1635), was an Oxford scholar, translator
and poet. See "Leonard Digges, the First Bardolator," post in
the Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet blog reviewing Digges'
two commendatory poems, one to the First Folio and one to Benson's
1640 edition of Poems: Written by Wil. Shakespeare, Gent.
Digges widowed mother married Thomas Russell,
Shakespeare's friend and one of the overseers of his will.
His brother was Sir Dudley Digges, an officer of the
Virginia Company, and possible the source of information
on the shipwreck source for The Tempest.

Shake-speare, at length thy pious fellowes give

[A]nd Time dissolves thy Stratford Moniment,
[H]ere we alive shall view thee still. This Booke,
[W]hen Brasse and Marble fade, shall make thee looke
Fresh to all Ages : when Posteritie
Shall loath what's new, thinke all is prodegie
That is not Shake-speares; *EV'Ry Line, each VERsE*
HERE shall *reviVE, REDEeME* thee from thy HERsE.
Nor Fire, nor cankring Age, as NASO said,
Of his, *thy wit-fraught BOOKE* shall once invade.
Nor shall I E'RE beleeve, or thinke thee dead.
(Though mist) untill our bankrout Stage be sped
(Imposible) with some new straine t'out-do

His mother Jane was a first cousin of his father, so both had
the name of Abbott which explains Edwin Abbott Abbott having
'Abbott' as both a surname and a middle name. Edwin Abbott
was headmaster of the Philological School at MAR(yleb)O(ne).>>
