Kate Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Also, Shakespeare’s birthday today has brought up the retweet of this, from 2020, by the Bodleian today. See the image. The story attached to it is here from 2016 https://rosbarber.com/bodleian-first-folio/ To my eye/ear this sounds like it’s from the pen of Alexander Pope (?) I think that would fit the timing mentioned in the article above.

Light-of-Truth Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Couple things in the first anagram: Starting on the next line after "Fell..." skipping the italic words, the word "name" is number 67, the Simple cipher of FRANCIS. "Fairest Beautie" with it's F and B is 136 Simple cipher the same as BACON SHAKESPEARE. My name is Francis Bacon and Will Shakespeare. I'm sure there is a Tudor in there as well, and other things. 😉 2 T A A A A A A A A A A A T 157 www.Light-of-Truth.com 287 <-- 1 8 8 1 1 O 1 1 8 8 1 --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light-of-Truth Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 My passion, what is fun, even when trying to go to bed soon keeps me going. Thrilling! A beautiful Bacon acrostic, easy to see. Is it a "coincidence"? Possible, it does happen. Me, I always look at the context. Does it seem to fit in with an idea? Is the word, "name" anywhere around? How about, "My name is..."? That always gets me excited. And it happens more often than not. 😉 In this case (I have been here before), it is on the previous page: https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/SLNSW_F1/491/index.html%3Fzoom=850.html OK, now what? I count the words, letters, lines, pages, whatever. I LOVE MS Word and being able to see "original" text! I copy/paste and use the Review tools. https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/doc/2H6_F1/scene/4.1/index.html In this case, starting with the line after "my name is Walter Whitmore" counting to and including the word "Base" of Bacon is word 287. There are 33 lines before the one with the "First..." Coincidence? My name is F Bacon. Sealed with a 287. This is when it gets weird, tickling the mind, especially after all these years when one almost expects a connection, and finds it! The thrill to discover is one thing, but imagine the thrill of hiding these treasures! Who had more fun? Them or us?? LOL Somewhere I might have some notes on this acrostic from many years ago. I can't remember what else is here, but from what I remember this entire play is riddled with anagrams, acrostics, word and letter counts, and cipher numbers. A story is told, all about Bacon and who he was and his life. Or maybe all coincidences. 😉 2 T A A A A A A A A A A A T 157 www.Light-of-Truth.com 287 <-- 1 8 8 1 1 O 1 1 8 8 1 --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light-of-Truth Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Kate, to follow up on the poem you posted, I took a look. It definitely appears to hold a concealed message, and the arrangement suggests an anagram or acrostic. I can squeak out an F BACON, and TUDOR could be there, but I'm not seeing much to support it. I looked at numbers, word/letter counts, ciphers etc. One does appear. If you take all the uppercase letters that are not at the beginning of the lines and add them up you have 287 Simple cipher with the 26letter alphabet which would have been in full use by the time the poem was written (post-Dryden). There could be a Rosicrucian connection. Or a hint at WILLIAM TUDOR I, but I'm not confident at this point without another clue. Maybe. A S L F S G V E F L S V E N E W S S L L E D S = 287 Simple cipher with modern alphabet. The first letters of the lines and the uppercase letters of the script words both add up to 89 Simple cipher with the modern alphabet. But that's not a number that rings a bell. I didn't run into any other cipher numbers that we think of as Bacon signatures. An Active Swain to make a Leap was seen Which sham'd his Fellow Shepherds on the Green, And growing Vain, he would Essay once more, But lost the Fame, which he had gain'd before; Oft did he try, at Length was forc'd to yeild He Stove in Vain , _he had himself Excell'd: So Nature once in her Essays of Wit, In Shakespeare took the Sheperd's Lucky Leap But over-straining in the great Effort, In Dryden, and the rest, has since fell Short. There are 83 words, the Simple cipher of TRUTH. Remove the script words and there are 74 which is the Simple cipher of WILLIAM and TUDOR. So maybe something. Allsinum2er is better at connecting the references to the Ancients in the plain text. I looked up Shepherds and poked around. That led me to something else I'll post later in a new topic. Here is an article about the poem and mentions Marlow - Shepherds connection: https://rosbarber.com/bodleian-first-folio/ 1 1 T A A A A A A A A A A A T 157 www.Light-of-Truth.com 287 <-- 1 8 8 1 1 O 1 1 8 8 1 --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allisnum2er Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Great find Rob ! 😃 I think that you are right. I have taken a look to the poem , and here are my two cents. There are many ways to make the name "Tudor" appear. The word "ESSAY" appears two times, and in my opinion this is a reference to FRANCIS BACON'S ESSAYS or THE ESSAYS OF WIT (WIlliam Tudor) We have the word "IBIS" in acrostic that can be linked with the "Pillars" of the painting of the Somerset conference (1604) https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw00166/The-Somerset-House-Conference-1604 Moreover, the word Leap is used two times. The first one is the 7th word, the second one is the 67th word 67 is the simple cipher of FRANCIS 67+7=74 and 74 is the simple cipher of WILLIAM and TUDOR Thus, the two words Leap concealed WILLIAM FRANCIS TUDOR 😊 And we can relate the word Leap to a well known passage of the First Folio : Not in love neither? Then let us say you are sad, Because you are not merry: and 'twere as easy For you to laugh and leap and say you are merry, Because you are not sad.

Light-of-Truth Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Following on Kate's thread... Within certainly the first 157 days of learning Bacon was Shakespeare, Alexander Pope's name had come up. Until today I never knew when he actually lived. The name "Dryden" is familiar, but to me, "Who was that?" Kate suggested Pope wrote this poem. If he did, then this is a treasure to give some investigation. It is definitely a poem written by somebody who is leaving a message to the future. They may have never known it would at an online museum, but they knew someone would try to see what they were saying. When? Early 1700's? Pope's new edited Shakespeare collection was coming out? Pope knew Bacon was a Tudor. The first few lines of the poem do not sound like Pope to me about Bacon. That's my question. I am missing something that is possibly obvious. 2 T A A A A A A A A A A A T 157 www.Light-of-Truth.com 287 <-- 1 8 8 1 1 O 1 1 8 8 1 --> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope knew Bacon was a Tudor. The first few lines of the poem do not sound like Pope to me about Bacon. That's my question. I am missing something that is possibly obvious. Thanks for looking at this. I’d lay good money it’s written by Pope. He mentions Dryden (Poet Laureate) repeatedly in here https://www.poetryfoundation.org/articles/69379/an-essay-on-criticism as well as Maro (which is on Shakespeare’s tomb in Latin - thought to refer to Virgil) and he wrote in the same rhyming style. He also referred to, or was referred to as(?) The Conscious Swain, and talks regularly about leaps and leaping and shepherds. So the question is, what is this from the First Folio telling us/conveying? Who lost the fame he had gained before? We know Bacon fell from grace. Stove should be strove, which possibly points to a number count cipher (?) and He had himself excelled Nature Wit Shakespeare Leap Dryden Short Are all in script (as you pointed out). I found this interesting Pope wrote this in an Essay on Criticism (linked to above) In which, interestingly, the word Nature is capitalised I think we should perhaps scrutinise this poem.

Light-of-Truth Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Could be Pope, great points. "Stove" may be intentional, it can be a past-tense verb of Stave, or could mean "steamed, smoked, etc." "He Steamed in Vain," https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stave verb (used with object), staved or stove, stav·ing. to break in a stave or staves of (a cask or barrel) so as to release the wine, liquor, or other contents. to release (wine, liquor, etc.) by breaking the cask or barrel. to break or crush (something) inward (often followed by in). to break (a hole) in, especially in the hull of a boat. to break to pieces; splinter; smash. to furnish with a stave or staves. to beat with a stave or staff. verb (used without object), staved or stove, stav·ing. to become staved in, as a boat; break in or up. to move along rapidly. Here is an example of "he stove..." (Here is chapter XXXII of Irish Tales, a novel by Michael Banim (1796-1874)): “Paddy—WHACK!” he shouted. And at the word “Whack,” which surname he assumed for the occasion, he stove in the head of the keg Bridget Scallon had placed on the bench. It's hard for me to get Bacon out of these lines, though: An Active Swain to make a Leap was seen Which sham'd his Fellow Shepherds on the Green, And growing Vain, he would Essay once more, But lost the Fame, which he had gain'd before; Oft did he try, at Length was forc'd to yeild He Stove in Vain , _he had himself Excell'd: I may be misinterpreting what he is saying. Question about, "Shakespeare, William and Alexander Pope. The Works of Mr. William Shakespear. In six volumes. Collated and corrected by the former editions, By Mr. Pope. London: Jacob Tonson, 1723-25." Has anyone looked for or found ciphers?
