If you think you’ve heard everything listen to this.
That amazing Shakespeare the poor glove maker, poacher, playwright of secrecy, actor unseen, purveyor of small claims and practicing illiterate anticipated William Harvey’s discovery of the circulation of the blood.
Since I have been told by learned scholars that William Shagspur – who never read a book – wrote the plays and sonnets (which is a miracle unto itself).must have also discovered the circulation of the blood before Harvey but he couldn’t share the spotlight with Harvey’ because Shagspur/Shakespeare died in 1616. Shagspur/Shakespeare’s biographers have said that he ceased writing in 1612.
William Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood in 1616; announced the discovery in 1619; and published it in the 1628. William Shagspur/Shakespeare wrote in Coriolanus “… rivers of your blood…” and “…even to the court the heart to the seat of the brain…” and “…the strongest nerves and small inferior veins from me…”
In Romeo and Juliet Shagspur/Shakespeare said “…when, presently, through all thy vein shall run a cold for no pulse shall keep this native progress…”
And in Henry IV he says, “… muster me all to bear Captain, the heart….”
Incidentally, Francis Bacon was a patient of William Harvey.
Since we have no record that Shagspur/Shakespeare was never ill (except when he died) Shakespur/Shakespeare and William Harvey would not have met. Thus his discovery of the circulation before Harvey goes to Shagspur/Shakespeare.
