Kieran Doherty Quote
Perhaps it was there that Jonson told him—it was advice he gave to others—that the only hope for any man in debt was to flee to Constantinople, Ireland, or Virginia if he wanted to rebuild his life and repair his credit.6 Strachey had already tried his luck in Turkey, and failed. Now, while Ireland may have beckoned, it must have seemed to the impoverished poet that Virginia offered a better chance to escape his creditors and perhaps, just perhaps, his best opportunity, if not for riches, then for security and freedom.
