This "Prologue to his Aeneids" is a rather long sample, since it's three times the length of the rest of the article. Could a simple link to an external source suffice? Also, there doesn't seem to be much discussion of why this sample is even included, which makes it somewhat irrelevant to the article. Is it his greatest piece of writing? Does it have some other significance?

Source of quotation

Can a anyone give a reference for "If 'tis wrong I do, then 'tis a fine and noble wrong"? It doesn't SOUND like late 15th century (perhaps a hundred years later); there are only 4 Google hits, all of which seem to derive from Wikipedia; and it isn't in Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

Date of birth

Some sources seem to think he was born 13 August 1422. Is this supported historically, or is it just supposition that's been repeated wildly? -- JackofOz (talk)
