Annotation:
	Suggests that although Shakespeare may not have read Du Bellay's Antiquitez and Ruins of Rome, Shakespeare does employ similar themes and descriptions of "Ruinish" (poetic language associated with ruin, civil war, and the fall of Rome), metaphors surrounding ruined human bodies and cities, refusal, responses to Petrarch, and nothingness. Also briefly discusses Titus Andronicus as point of initial engagement with Du Bellay's images and ideas.
