[Footnote 34: First Folio, "Comedies", p. 183, col. B, lines 36-46.]
It was probably more than a coincidence that Shakespeare's first
printed book, "Venus and Adonis", was published, in 1593, by a
fellow-townsman, Richard Field, who had come up to London from
Stratford when a mere boy. Undoubtedly, when Shakespeare met him in
the bustle of city life, the common memories of their quieter native
town served at once as an introduction and as a link between them.
Field also published Shakespeare's "Lucrece" in the year 1594. He had
been a freeman of the Stationers' Company from February 6, 1587, and
died either in the year the First Folio was issued, or in the
succeeding year, 1624.

are twined two laurel branches.]
