Abstract
The article examines a passage in Scene 8 of the play "The Book of Sir Thomas More," focusing on some Latin lines and their source. It mentions Latin quotation, originally mistranslated by editors, was found to come from the fifth Eclogue of the neo-Latin poet Mantuan, and the article suggests that the passage is more likely the work of William Shakespeare than other associated playwrights like Anthony Munday or Thomas Dekker.
