I believe the meaning of the phrase “small Latin and Less Greek” refers to the laudatory speeches of the time…given in Latin and Greek. De Vere (and Shaksper) both had very little in the way of speeches and/or praise given at their deaths. For Shaksper this is understandable. For De Vere, the question is why?
