MM:
Regarding that quote attributed to Foulke Greville, I have to remain
open-minded to it. Mr. Greville could have been a Master. I can't
say that he wasn't. His association with Edmund Spenser, Sir Philip
Sidney, and Mary Sidney, certainly could have meant that he was a
Master, also. Edmund Spenser was a Sat Guru.

Since they (Greville, Spenser, and Sidney) were older than Marlowe and
Shakespeare, they might have been Masters to them, when they were
young. When Marlowe got older, he became the Sat Guru to William
Shakespeare, however. Greville could possibly have been a Master to
William Shakespeare until Marlowe assumed that role.
