Introduction:
While in London, shortly after my husband’s death I had received a parchment from a new sonnet writer known as William Shakespeare, and I Lady Christiana would like to read his works to the populous of the Shire of Appledore, at title as ‘The Phoenix and the Turtle.’
At this stage I would read from the parchment.
A Copy of the Phoenix and the Turtle.
The Phoenix and the Turtle
Let the bird of loudest lay,
On the sole Arabian tree,
Herald sad and trumpet be,
To whose sound chaste wings obey,
But thou shrieking harbinger,
Foul precurrer of the fiend,
Augur of the fever’s end,
To this troop come thou not near!
From this session interdict
Every fowl of tyrant wing,
Save the eagle, feather’d king:
Keep the obsequy so strict.
Let the priest in surplice white,
That defunctive music can,
Be the death-divining swan,
Lest the requiem lack his right.
And thou treble-dated crow.
That thy sable gender makest
With the breath thou givest and takest.
‘Mongst our mourners shalt thou go
Here the antherm doth commence:
Love and constancy is dead;
Phoenix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.
So they loved, as love in twain
Had the essence but in one;
Two distincts, division none;
Number there in love was slain.
Hearts remote, yet not asunder
Distance, and no space was seen
‘Twist the turtle and his queen:
But in them it were a wonder.
So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the ‘Phoenix’ sight;
Either was the other’s mine.
Property was thus appalled
That the self was not the same;
Single natures’s double name
Neither two nor one was called.
Reason, in itself confounded,
Saw division grow together,
To themselves yet either neither,
Simple were so well compounded,
That it cried, How true a twain
Seemth this concordant one!
Love hath reason, reason none,
If what parts can so remain,
Whereupon it made this threne
To the Phoenix and the dove,
Co-supremes and stars of love,
As chorus to their tragic scene.
Threnos
Beauty, truth, and rarity
Grace in all simplicity
Here enclosed in cinders lie.
Death is now the ‘Phoenix’ nest
And the turtle’s loyal breast
To eternity doth rest,
Leaving no posterity:
‘Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.
Truth may seem, but cannot be;
Beauty brag, but ‘tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be.
To this urn let those repair
That are either true or fair;
For these dead bird sigh a prayer.
By:William Shakespeare – sunnets of
A briefing of Christiana and the Short History of William Shakespeare.
Although Christiana has not selected this as an option in the Golden Swan application, I Christiana would like to read the sonnet from William Shakespeare called the ‘Turtle and the Phoenix’. The time when William Shakespeare was a writer dates from new discoveries of theatres being unearth in London, currently date back to the 1580s and may even date earlier than this according to a news broadcast on March 15, 2009. Therefore the writings of William Shakespeare may date earlier than when it was actually recorded in writing. The sonnet of 'The Phoenix and the Turtle' was published from 'Love’s Martyr, or Rosalin Compliant' of 1601. But may have been written earlier.
Because of the length of time that is allowed at bardic, I have selected this sonnet as been suitable for the timeline of late 1593 as this does give the style of the sonnets from the Elizabethan era and theatre from this decade, when William Shakespeare was beginning to be known as a playwright and because of the length of most of his sonnets would probably take longer than the allowable time frame allowed for bardic at the Feast of the Golden Swan. I have included a written copy of the sonnet of The Turtle and the Phoenix for your entertainment, which would take about five minutes to recite.
Christiana, through her later life, had met with William Shakespeare when she was in London while John was on business, at which time Shakespeare was just beginning to get into acting. From there she made friends with him Christiana would develop a fondness for William Shakespeare earlier writings.
William Shakespeare was born on April 21st or 22nd, 1564 near the date of the 23rd known as St. George’s Day at his birthplace on Henley Street. Shakespeare was baptized in the Church of the Holy Trinity, in Stratford, April 26, 1564. Shakespeare father was John Shakespeare, a merchant and bailiff and justice of the peace. Shakespeare attended grammar school at Stratford-upon-Avon until he was about 13/14 years of age. He married Anne Hathaway on November 28, 1582 when Anne was six months pregnant. In 1585 Hamlet and Judith were born and February 2nd were baptize. When Shakespeare might have been accused of theft he and his wife and three children left Stratford-upon-Avon and left for London where he joined the London theatre scene somewhere around 1585. Shakespeare would become owner of the Globe theatre of where he wrote plays, poems, and masques. In 1593 theatre, was order close due to the bubonic plague.

Dance [optional]
Candidates must dance and teach three period dances of their choice. List your choice of dances on the application form, and bring a cassette with the music for all three of your dances to avoid unfamiliar music.
Christiana Elizabeth Constable has not picked this is an option, but in everyday life of the wealthy class, it was probably one of the requirement, a socially accepted standard for this class. Dances would take place, on certain holidays, and even take place at the estates of wealthy owners, and even invitations at events of the higher offices of town and country.
Even though Christiana has not chosen this option, she would have being brought up with the means of dancing as part of her learning, through Thomas, and her two husbands married over a period of time. Dancing was not only for social class, but also as a pastime for entertainment. Below is listed a few dances, that help in rounding off the persona of Christiana Elizabeth Constable, and to bring life to her.
The Carolingian Pavan (Steps are in Chapter one – Persona Creation)
And as to the pavan it serves for the kings, princes, and grave nobleman to show themselves on the days of soleman festival with their grand mantles and robes of parade. And the queens, princesses, and noble ladies accompanying them, with long trains of their dresses lowered And trailing, sometimes born by damsels, and the said pavans are played by hautboys and sackbuts, who call it the grand ball and make it last until those who dance have circled the hall two or three times: unless they should prefer to dance it advancing and retreating. (From Arbeau’s Ochesography). The name of the dance comes from Latin meaning peacock. Some sources say that the pavan originated in Spain, others say Italy. The pavan is preformed in 4/4 time, played in a slow, dignified tempo. Couples executed the steps, which were based on simply walking forward and back, as they move in procession around the hall. Pavan was danced from 1530 to 1676.
Galliards are dances that follow the pavan and are sometimes constructed on the same theme as the pavan. A solo dancer who would embellish the dance with complex variations of fast steps and high jumps sometimes preformed the galliard. It could also be danced in couples, using a series of sideway steps, turns and hops. The galliard is in triple meter and it’s a lively dance. The music is a simple homophonic style. One distinctive trait of the galliard is the use of hemiolas, which is the division of six beats from 3+3 into 2+2+2 before a cadence. The pavan and the galliard make up the two-part suite. These dances were performed in succession or immediately following one another without pause.
Eleven step Galliard Figures:
1.) Onze-pas (eleven steps) kL kR kL kR kL kR kL kR kL kR CSL
2.) Fleuret F1L F1R F1L F1R CSL
3.) Side crossed Fleuret SfL SfR SfL SfR CSL
Other eleven step galliards are more complex, being formed from larger combination of the galliard steps:
4) (From Orchesography) HkR KL HkL KL HkR KL HkL KR HkR KL CSR
mantra: back front swing swing back
front swing kick swing kick change
5) (From Orchesography) HkR KL HkR KL PR KR PL KL HkL KL CSR
mantra: back front back front down up down up
swing swing change
k Pied en I’air low kick (front)
K Greve high kick (front)
Hk Ruade (horsekick) (back kick)
CS Cadence jump, crossing feet in air
F1 Fleuret 2 rapid alternate low kicks followed by a normal
pace high kick (kL kR KL)
Sf Fleuret Croise (L) sideways step followed by quick (R) crossed kick, then normal pace low (R) kick
P Posture walking pose (foot & hand on same side forward
other foot hand back)
At the start of each step there is a small leap (Petit saut or j) which is included as part of the step unless it specifically states otherwise. An example, to do a kL, make a small leap onto the right foot (j) at the same time as kicking the left foot forwards slightly in a low kick (kL)
Volta: Perhaps the most controversial yet popular dance in France and England among younger dancers. Originally from Provence and considered a relative of the Galliard, it is a close couple dance preformed in triple time. The dancers continually turned in this lively dance and to make it even more risqué, the gentleman grabbed the wooden point of the lady’s corset, the busk, and boosted her into the air with his thigh under her backside, making a half-turn before setting her down. This dance movement will reveal the knees and left both partners giddy and breathless from the continuous turning and lifting.
Volta also known as La Volta is basically a galliard variation although it does contain other steps. The dance can be preformed as a couples or an many couples as will.
The basic La Volta as follows
1. kl Kick left
2. SL Step left
3,4. J Large leap
5 Pj Feet together
6 Pause
A right Volta step (VSR) begins with the right foot.
The Volta Turn
1. kL Kick left
2 SL Step left
3 – 6 Leap and spin
Body Position: Firstly the man and lady must be standing close together – touching at the hips. The lady will need to be close enough to sit on the man’s thigh This can be done with the lady on the man’s left side or the lady on the man’s right side. It can be done either way according to Arbeau.
There are also other dances that are preformed, in England, but will not touch on this area.

Christiana’s Elizabeth Constable Timeline in reference to Historical Events.
As one grows one will experience many events that pass in his or her lifetime, some may not intervene in their life, but others will change the outcome of how ones life is changed. During compiling this report for the Golden Swan entry was enjoyable and has help me greatly in understanding the life of this period which is reflected through my costuming and even making the props that help make the persona look like the period and to help move it smoothly and on line. It has taken at least four years of trial and error, but if it were not for certain people, I believe that would have not undertaken such a project. It has help in stabilizing what persona I wish to do, but also guilded me through the name change (herald, and membership application renewal) to reflect the year and region, the social class, and help to develop other interest in the arts and sciences. With patients and with the help of other people it is possible to form the story line of Christiana and how it would reflect in her life from the 1540s to 1593s. For those people that have help in creating this persona, I thank all and one of you. It was a challenged job, but one of interest, and loving. Using of the Internet was a great resource, but one must make sure that these events are correct, and through numerous books one can create a refined persona. As mention in previous chapters, she would have had difficulty unless she was in the wealthy middle class, in obtaining education, and even than girls were not necessary taught an education, never mine being employed in a career. They were brought up with the understanding, that they were the property of the man that marries her, usually marriage setup be the father of the girl and a dowry to lure a man to marry thus climbing the social ladder and wealth.
There were also many diseases back in the 1550s and onwards, and most were fatal as listed in the timeline. This is a summary of what Christiana experience and how it reflected on her.
