And the homoerotic Elizabethan poem of the day is...

Yesterday I posted a link on Facebook to a sonnet by Richard Barnfield, an Elizabethan poet who explicitly addressed his love poetry to a man. Today's link is to Michael Drayton's "Piers Gaveston," which I also note because we, the readers, are obviously supposed to despise him for the vile seducer he is, buthis description of his relationship with Edward is just so hot, you find yourself hoping that perhaps they staged their deaths and ran away together to Capri
