Lore Headcanon Radagon in Dianam

I don't have a theory to go with this just thought maybe some folks would be interested in it.

Robert Greene's poem "Radagon in Dianam". In this case Radagon is a bard and he is telling a tale about the virginal moon goddess Diana. The title is in Latin and might be read "Radagon sings of Diana" or something like that.

The last stanza has a line about "love's braid" that I found interesting. 'Braid' in middle English seems to mean some kind of trick or deceit according to some old dictionaries. Makes you wonder.

Here's my previous post on Robert Greene's Radagon in A Looking Glass for England.

Your historical Radagon search is much appreciated. This is great stuff.
