Shakespeare was fortunate, or perhaps fated, not only to keep writing but also to keep earning from it. Even when the plague closed London theaters for two years in the early 1590s, he had a wealthy patron - Henry Wriothesly, Earl of Southampton and Baron of Tichfield - for whom he wrote Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece.
I hope to find such a patron myself.
