"Tudors" Marvell

In a remarkable episode ("Problems in the Reformation") of The Tudors dealing with the aftermath of the death of Jane Seymour, Henry VIII spends much of the hour in colloquy with his fool Will (his only appearance), played by David Bradley (Harry Potter's Argus Filch).

At one point, the very prescient fool speaks of "a green thought in a green shade." The gorgeous phrasing, of course, is from "The Garden" by Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) [pictured]:

Meanwhile the mind, from pleasure less,
Withdraws into its happiness:
The mind, that ocean where each kind
Does straight its own resemblance find;
Yet it creates, transcending these,
Far other worlds, and other seas;
Annihilating all that's made
To a green thought in a green shade.

So Will, speaking in 1537 (the year of Seymour's passing) is anachronizing by over a century.
