                                                                                    THE ANAGRAM OF F. BACON IN TIMON OF ATHENS.  

 

                                          For each true word, a blister, and each false

                                          Be as Cantherizing to the root of o’th’ Tongue,

                                          Consuming it with speaking.

                                               I Worthy Timon.

                                              Tim. Of none but such as you,

                                           And you of Timon.

                                                 F. BACON.

[Light-of-Truth]

A. Phoenix you did not bring up the line before, "Speake and be hang'd".

"Hang'd" always gets our attention! You knew one of us would look! 🙂

There are multiple Bacon anagrams/acrostic here, and another down the page that is very interesting.

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/SLNSW_F1/712/index.html%3Fzoom=850.html

https://firstfolio.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/text/714

Quickly, the "I Worthy Timon" caught my William Tudor I eye, of course. But I discovered that TIMON is 67 Simple cipher, the same as FRANCIS. But let me move on.

Word counts and character counts are curious.

If you count "hang'd" then the "And" in your example there are 33 words, or we can count only the "true words" skipping the number 1 and there are 33 words.

Starting with the word "Be" in the above, count 67 words and you are at "one consent." If "one" is an "A", you have a Bacon acrostic.

Starting with the same "Be" counting 287 characters you are at the "f" of "of" immediately after the Bacon I just pointed out to make "F Bacon".

There are other interesting counts as well. For instance there are 365 characters up to the word "For" that starts the F BACON you pointed out.

There are 444 words in the column on that page. 444 - 157 + 287.

After "I Worthy Timon" count 33 lines and the line is

Allowed with absolute power, and thy good name

But wait! Check this other BACON out down the page!!

"Bore"? You mean "Boar"? LOL

Do you see "Shakes peace"? Mightly close to Shakespeare in my eye.

Staring with the word "For" in your example, there are 287 words up to "peace".

Remember that line with the "For"?

For each true word, a blister, and each false

 

If we only count the words, skipping the numbers 1 and 2 that are on the page (two Senators from previous page), there are 287 words between "Speake" (Speake and be hang'd) and "Shakes". 
 

Shakespeace and ShakesSpeake?

With F BACON, BACON, BORE, HANG'D, and 287 letters and words in various counts, and THY GOOD NAME.

This is a very strange line, if you ask me

Well sir, I will: therefore I will sir thus:

Is it a hint at "Sir I Will Tudor I Will Sir"?

"Therefore Timon."

 

TIMON = FRANCIS.

From the end of the page, see 287 characters:

If we count the words skipping the 1, (For each true word) there are 67 words after "Sword" to the end of the page. Start counting everything with "thy good name" there are 33 words before "Sword".

SWORD is 74 Simple cipher and 100 Kaye cipher the exact same as TUDOR.

I've never looked at this play before, and see more already. But enough for now. 🙂

Hi Grand Master Baconian mathemetician (ala Dr Dee) and Grand Master Baconian decipherer. Wow, that was an impressively detailed expansive examination and evaluation of the cryptographic intricies in that part of the text. There are so many Baconian secrets interwoven into the fabric of this little known play Timon of Athens and several Baconians believe it was written or heavily revised by FB after his fall in 1621. Thank you.      

[Light-of-Truth]

I'm looking at the play. There are two pages 81 and 82. Likely to look more deeply.

They go: 80 > 81 > 82 > 81 > 82 > 83 > 84 > so on.

The first line on the second column of the first page is, "One might interpret."

One suggests a count. So counting the non-italic words Fortune is number 157:

Counting all the words Fortune is number 287:

From the end of the page counting back Fortune is word 33:

Fortune is at a 157 and 287 count starting with the word "One" and 33 counting from the end.

Curious.

A lot of word play on the first page, "One might interpret", "How shall I vnderstand you?", etc.

And there is another Fortune on the page with a Tudor anagram:

Poet. Sir, I haue vpon a high and pleasant hill
Feign'd Fortune to be thron'd.
The Base o'th'Mount

There are 33 lines between the first one and the line with this Fortune on it:

[A Phoenix]

Hi Grand Master Rob, that is a seriously impressive encore. Brilliant.

[Light-of-Truth]

Could be only the Mighty Yann could understand the significance of Fortune with the number placements. 🙂

 

[Allisnum2er]

Rob ,  the "Akashic Muses" are with you !!! 😉 What an incredible work ! 😀 Good Job ! 👍

I think that I have a part of the answer regarding "Fortune".

The fact is that yesterday morning, I made an incredible discovery about "Fortune" (Synchronicity !).

I am working on it at present and I am looking forward to sharing it with the members of the B'Hive in the next hours !

[Light-of-Truth]

The first mis-numbered page which should be page 83 is numbered 81.

Fortunes is twice, and two times seeing "conf" (F --con). Missing the "Ba" I am so used to seeing!

Haven't been able to figure it out and haven't had time to number crunch yet. Tonight might be busy with my Baconian-lonely wife missing my attention. LOL

Awaiting to see Allisnum2er's work. 😉

What is with all this "hanging" Bacon??

100 words, 100 is the Simple cipher of FRANCIS BACON.

74 words, 74 is Simple cipher of WILLIAM and TUDOR.

33 words, 33 is the Simple cipher of BACON.

I never knew so much Bacon was hanging' in Shakespeare's works!! What a new and exciting connection!!

EDIT: Here is the link I am working with:

[Light-of-Truth]

Same link as above.

287 words between the word "one" (as if to count) and the word "Below" with the hangin' BACON anagram/acrostic.

Are we NOT seeing some intentional connections here?

Am I the only person seeing Bacon and Jonson partying it up counting lines, words, letters, laughing their butts off wondering if anyone will ever find their hints?

They had NO idea we would have MS Word, online resources we can copy/paste, and that anyone who wants to see the 1623 First Folio can find it online with something called Google. Thanks to Bacon's biliteral cipher that broke the ground on binary code our modern world is based upon. LOL

GOOGLE is 58 Simple cipher, same as JOHN DEE.

GOOGLE is 92 Reverse cipher, same as BACON.

GOOGLE is 136 Kaye cipher, the same as BACON-SAKESPEARE in Simple cipher.

Very appropriate. 😉

 

[Light-of-Truth]

A third "Hang" on this page near the bottom:

102 words from Hang to the end (skipping italic words).

ONE HUNDRED TWO is 157 Simple and 287 Kaye ciphers.

Counting from the line after the first "Hang" skipping italic words and the three words in parenthesis to the end of the page, we have 287 words.

I'm not making this up. I don't think I am seeing things, unless I am asleep dreaming...

😉

Curious, what does "Sdeath" mean?

 

Edited April 30, 2022 by Light-of-Truth

[Light-of-Truth]

Sorry to be a forum Hog tonight..

I had to look up "Hang" in the dictionary. Just in case I am missing something. I saw this:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hang

intransitive verb

1a : to remain suspended or fastened to some point above without support from below : dangle

b : to die by being suspended by the neck —often hanged in the past He hanged for his crimes.

c : to be connected as something relevant or related thereby hangs a tale— William Shakespeare

Didn't expect to see that! Perfect!! LOL

Shakespeare says the Bacon hanging is relevant or related telling a tale about Bacon?

Still have all my King Lear windows open and notes. Busy days on "important" stuff that is not nearly as important as Bacon. But life is what it is. 😉

Will catch up soon, maybe tomorrow. Still on a few days ago not letting go yet!!

[Light-of-Truth]

Here's a couple quick things to catch up a bit.

King Lear - Act 4, Scene 1 (page 301) that A. Phoenix pointed out. There is another acrostic to consider:

There are 33 non-italic words between Both and On't in the BACon. 33 is the Simple cipher of BACON. We can also see will to Douer which is not hard to make Will Tudor in those 33 words

If we would like to add the "F" in "Fiend" to make F BACon, we can count all the words from Fiend to on't for 67 words. 67 is the Simple cipher of FRANCIS.

 

 

[Light-of-Truth]

In Much Ado About Nothing the page that has the FBACON acrostic has some interesting word play. The word "Count" appears four times and "name" twice in the opposite column as FBACON. "Grace" shows up several times on the page as well. GRACE is 33 Simple and 92 Reverse cipher same as BACON.

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/SLNSW_F1/124/index.html%3Fzoom=850.html

Notice just before the FBACON is the would "Looke" as if a hint. And obviously we might want to "Count" with "name" in mind. This is what I came up with so far:

Start with the word after "conference" (end of BACON) there are 444 words stopping with "Prince. Will".

444 is 157 + 287. Of course WILLIAM TUDOR I is 157 Simple cipher and 287 Kaye cipher.

There are 52 lines. The Simple cipher of WILL is 52.

There is a line that says, "Speake Count, tis your Qu." So if we take a Que to start counting, there are 174 words up to "Will".

174 is the Simple cipher of FRANCIS BACON TUDOR. So happens I believe he tells us he was born as William, or "Prince Will."

He also tells us on the page "I was borne to Speake." We know he also shook a spear. 😉

Heading out, might share more later..

Scene 6 is short and interesting. "Mansonry" is the 33rd word. Also notice the Triple T.

Certainly that is a typo when it should be "Masonry".

MANSONRY is 111 Simple cipher, the Kaye cipher of BACON.

MANSONRY is 39 Short cipher, the Simple cipher of F BACON.

There are 157 non-italic words on that page in Scene 6 (page 134)

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/doc/Mac_F1/page/4/index.html

Counting the line with Masonry to the end of the Scene where BACON shows up is 33 lines:

There are 157 words between "loued Mansonry" and "Loue (sharpe as his Spurre)".

"His beloued Mansonry" and "And his great Loue (Shakespeare)?

SHARPE SPURRE is 144 Reverse cipher, the Simple cipher of SIR FRANCIS BACON.

 

The first line of the next page is (page 135):

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/doc/Mac_F1/page/5/index.html

King. Where's the Thane of Cawdor?

King - W T dor? Is it King William Tudor?

There are 102 words in Scene 6 on that page.

ONE HUNDRED TWO is 157 Simple and 287 Kaye cipher the same as WILLIAM TUDOR I.

Counting after the word "Audit" (to count or examine) there are 33 non-italic words to the end of the Scene:

Counting back from Audit, there are 33 non-italic words to (sharpe as his Spurre).

Shakespeare?

There are 67 non-italic words from (sharpe as his Spurre) to the end of the Scene where BACON is found.

67 is the Simple cipher of FRANCIS.

Hanging Bacon again. 33 lines between Hang'd and BACON.

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/doc/Oth_F1/scene/4.2/index.html

I saw this earlier on my way out the door. I "see" more, and after a few chores may be back. 😉

 

[Light-of-Truth]

Othello, Act 4, Scene 2, same as above.

"Am I that name?"

100 words skipping italic and the two in parenthesis. 100 is Simple cipher for FRANCIS BACON. 33 lines later after "hang'd" we see a clear BACON anagram/acrostic.

If we do count the two words in parenthesis, we have 102 words.

ONE HUNDRED TWO is 157 Simple and 287 Kaye cipher the same as WILLIAM TUDOR I. That lines contains, "I will..."

Am I that name? Bacon and Will Tudor?

"Hanging Bacon" always gets me. I never realized it was so integrated into Shakespeare until this B'Hive forum!! We've seen several just in the past couple weeks. The name "Will" keeps popping up. Of course the yet most important clue is in the Sonnets where Bacon bravely comes right out in plain text and says, "my name is Will." Strats LOVE it, Baconians shy away from it. But it tell the Truth. Bacon's born name was William, at least in my belief. We keep seeing it in cipher, I dream of the day when there is a historical clue beyond cipher. But being the biggest secret Bacon held, even beyond him being Shakespeare which we do have historical evidence, that Truth may only be in cipher.

Yet, there is one document, the Morgan Coleman manuscript. Peter Dawkins shared with me the following a few years ago:

"Please find attached three of the pages from the Morgan Coleman manuscript – a heraldic history of the Royal Family – that was made for Francis Bacon by Morgan Coleman in 1592. One is a handwritten introduction by the person who made the copy. The second is the heraldry of Queen Elizabeth I. The third is the heraldry of Francis Bacon. I hope you get these OK and find them useful. The images are for your private use only, not to be shared.

The ms starts with the Saxon royal family and succession, then moves onto William I, conqueror of Anglo-Saxon England and the whole line of the royal family down to Elizabeth I, then Francis Bacon on page 67. It also includes the French Alliance and royal line."

Turns out Queen Elizabeth is on Page 33. Bacon is on Page 67. That lineage begins with William I, William the Conqueror who Bacon was named after to be "Elizabeth's Seal" (157 and 287 - William Tudor I)

Sonnet 11 where the first letters add up to 157 Simple cipher, "She carv'd thee for her seal, and meant thereby,Thou shouldst print more, not let that copy die." The meaning is that until he had a son, he would not be the first. His copy must live to become WILLIAM TUDOR I and fulfill Elizabeth's "Will" and become her 157/287 cipher "Seal."
