It hath come to mine attention that ye whippersnapper artist called Xander hath limned me in ye psychedelic style of ye 1960s! Gadzooks, Xander, you hath done the world a great deed. 'Tis me in all my glory! I salute you whippersnapper! Arise Sir Xander! @whitegoldsword

@JANUSZCZAK Gadzooks! Why has't thou a big hole in thine head.

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

'William Dobson, buried 28 October 1646' Ye gods! 'tis but a day since mine death yet ye ratfluffs and weaselpokers who ruleth the nation hath already forgotten the rules of common decency. Fie upon them! Fie on the rogue Cummings! Fie on the barrel-roller Johnson.

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

@arthistorynews @JANUSZCZAK 'tis true Sir Bendor. The land is overrun by creak earths.

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

@arthistorynews @JANUSZCZAK That's certainly true Bendor. It's like those ghastly neighbours who think it is their absolute right to plant a tree in the middle of your view. The male ego knows no bounds when it comes to self-appointment.

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

Gadzooks. I believeth ye Civil War had passeth - that ye fools, rumpscallions and shire-adders hath spent their poison. But no. Satan's spawn returneth to rippeth apart the nation. Shame upon these smelldeaths!

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

Ye Lovers of Art! Join me on the morrow for ye big march through Londinium against Brexyt! Mine own liege, King Charles, was felled by these same blackguards. They hateth European art - Tiziano, Rubens, Leonardo. So they cutteth off the King's head in jealousie. Fie upon them!

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

Ye Gods! 'Tis seem my limnings be incarcerated at ye Tate Britanicus! Forsooth, I knoweth not why! Lovers of Dobson, get thee to Tate Britanicus and demandeth the liberty of mine art! Mine art be'eth as innocent as ye newborn lamb! I demand liberty! #YeLiberty #TateBritanicus

And dispatcheth ye Brexit nonsense that hath blighted the land. 'Tis calumny and falsehood!

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

Ye Britain! Thank thee for the good favour you showeth me yesterday on the occasion of mine baptism. I felteth it strongly. Ye are a great nation, and I am proudeth to be your son. Paint, paint and be merry!

Gaddy-gaddy-zooks! The broadcasting organ Ye Tube hath a short film abouteth my limnings at ye Tate Britain. 'Tis here. And doth maketh me happy. Be wareth for ye secret reference to Brexit! 'Tis a devilish thing. https://t.co/soKPl05Pdd

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

Gadzooks! 'Tis whispered that ye National Gallery hath acquired this fine limning by Artemisia Gentileschi. I knoweth her well. She hath more talent than any limner in London, excepteth perhaps me. No man standeth a chance with her. She knocketh them about the ear!

[William Dobson @William_Dobson]

They speaketh on the grapevine of ye new series on the picture tube calleth Big Sky Big Dreams Big Art presented by ye Waldemar Januszczak. Gadzooks. He's a terrible man. #MadeinUSA
