Nashe

He looked hard at Edward Henry, as though to stare down the memory of the failure of Nashe's verse.

But four years later, as we have seen, Nashe confounds elves with fairies in deriving all alike from fauns and dryads.

In the expression "killcow," Nashe alludes to Shakespeare's father's trade.

But Nashe describes him as a “shifting companion that ran through every art and throve by none.”

He often rails against the universal use of carriages, and quotes the words of honest Nashe to that effect.
