Life of Shakespeare. The known facts in the life of 
Shakespeare are few. He was born at Stratford-on-Avon in 
1554; went to London where he wrote plays — thirty-seven in 
all, between 1590 and 1613; returned to Stratford, bought 
New Place, arid died there in 1616. He is buried in the par- 
ish church at Stratford. This well-known epitaph marks his 
grave :
