Question

A poem dedicated to this person draws a comparison to when “some infamous bawd or whore / Should praise a matron” and asks “what could hurt her more?” The speaker proposes “The labor of an age in pilèd stones” and “a star-ypointing pyramid” as monuments to this person in a poem that calls him a “Dear son of Memory, great heir of (15[1])fame.” This person was “not of an age but of all (15[2])time,” according to a tribute poem that appeared as the preface to a (*) posthumously (10[1])published (-5[1])collection. The frontispiece of that collection may be based on a portrait of him owned by the Duke of Chandos. A poem by this (10[1])author claims that “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of (10[1])May.” For 10 points, name this author of the sonnet “Shall I Compare (10[1])Thee (10[1])to a (10[1])Summer’s Day.” (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: William Shakespeare [or the Bard of Avon] (The tribute poems are “On Shakespeare. 1630” by John Milton and “To the Memory of My Beloved the Author, Mr. William Shakespeare” by Ben Jonson.)
