12. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He
was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made

comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet
are an example of a heroic couple. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by
Juliet.

wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote
Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.

with his own hands. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the
Emasculation Proclamation. On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went

German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large.
