The Renaissance Continues-

 It was an age of great discoveries and inventions. Gutenberg invented the
bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter
Raleigh is an historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started
smoking. And Sir Francis Drake circumciced the world with a 100 ft. clipper !

 The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. Shakespeare
was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much
money and is famous only because of his plays. He liveds at Windsor with
his merry wives , writing tragedies, comedies and errors.

 In one of Shakespeare's famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by
relieving himself in a long soliloquy. His mind is filled with the filth of
incestuous sheets which he pours over every time he sees his mother. In another
play, Lady Macbeth tries to convince Macbeth to kill the King by attacking his
manhood. The proof that the witches in "Macbeth" were supernatural is that
no one could eat what they cooked.

 The clown in "As you like it" is named Touchdown, and Romeo and Juliet are an
example of a heroic couplet.

 Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cerevantes. He wrote
Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost
 Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained. During the renaissance
America began.

 Christipher Columbus was a greay navigator who discovered America while
cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta and the
Santa Fe. Later the Pilgrims crossed the ocean and this was called Pilgrims
Progress. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died
and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all of this.

 One of the causes of the Revolutionary War was the English put tacks in their
tea. Also the colonists would send their parcels through the post without
stamps. During the war, the Red Coats and Paul Revere was throwing balls over
stone walls. The dogs were barking and the peacocks crowing. Finally, the
colonists won the war and no longer had to pay for taxis.

 Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas
Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration
 of Independence. Franklin invented electricity by rubbing two cats backwards
and declared,"A horse divided against itself cannot stand". Franklin died in
1790 and is still dead.
 Soon the Constitution of the United States was adopted to ensure domestic
hostility. Under the Constitution, the people enjoyed the right to bare arms.

 Abe Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address while travelling from Washington to
Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. he also freed the slaves by signing the
Emasculation Proclamation. Meanwhile, in Europe, gravity was invented by Isacc
Walton. It is chiefly nopticeable in the Autumn, when the apples are falling
off the trees

 Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of
children. In between, he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his
attic. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Bach was the most famous composer
in the world , and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian and
half English. He was very large.

 Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud
music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him.
Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died.
