Epigram: Prologue To The Plausible

What if the last of Shakespeare's plays, The Tempest,

had been inspired by some skeptic coercion

of facts?---a source the playwright had rejected,

and elder, and somewhat more Scriptural, version?

Perhaps it was a source the Bard preferred

to help suppress; perhaps to keep unheard,

just as he did writing Richard the Third.
