’21 Mary Boleyn marries Carey (mistress to Henry now?)
3×7=21
Tyndale plans to transl. Bible into Engl.
’21 Anne B. returns from France to court
Erasmus thinks Henry’s court “a temple of the Muses”

Any: Annie?

SONNET 22
First use of word “heart” (3 times here)
’22 – [illegible] betrothal for Mary : Charles V
But Essex has hart insignia I believe
Mary Boleyn affair in early 20’s
Cath. 6 years older than Henry (Mary B. in ’22 – affair)
Lines 8-9: maybe this means he isn’t older except in aging fast if she should show signs of aging
