Demaine - of the French = de + Maine (state)
I'm having trouble finding a poet called Demaine ...what letters do you have in place please?
There is a Shakespearean character (French courtier) called Lord Dumaine - not sure whether he spouted lovelorn doggerel.
Have just checked, and yes he did.
That's very helpful. "Dumaine" works, since "du" = "de le" = "of the" (as I recall).
Yes indeed it does - thanks, I forgot to mention that point.
