William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe

Although the arguments about his authorship have raged for two centuries, Shakespeare's plays have been printed and reprinted and reprinted again, bearing his name. Now, for the first time and with a bit of help from computers and big data, the Oxford University Press will add Christopher Marlowe as a co-author in all three “Henry VI” plays (Parts 1, 2 and 3).

It's hard to believe that the Bard
used Marlowe as play writing pard.
It's like Santa Claus
used the Wizard of Oz
when driving the sleigh got too hard.
