In Love’s Labour’s Lost, II.i, the Princess of France says “Beauty is bought by judgment of the eye, not uttered by base sale of chapmens tongues”.

The same Newsletter has a report on the 1942 destruction of the Elizabethan wing of Melford Hall in Suffolk. Read the entire Newsletter here https://shakespeareoxfordfellowship.org/wp-content/uploads/SFE-1942-04-APR.pdf to find Melford’s significance for Oxfordians.
