Shakespeares Sonnet 102 - A Secret Seal Signature

[Light-of-Truth]

NOTE: As I hit submit on this post, we are in Line 1414 of the Sonnets, the 13th line of Sonnet 101. In a few hours we begin Sonnet 102.

Then do thy office, Muse; I teach thee how

Line number 1414 of the Sonnets and Line 13 of Sonnet Number 101 during Day Number 239 in Tier number 10 of the Sonnets Pyramid.

Sonnet 102 is very important in the Sonnets story of who Shakespeare was and strongly supports one particular view of what the Sonnets story reveals.

For now, Part 1 of this post is just about some numbers; 157 and 287.

I hope to have time later today to share the story told with graphics, links, word counts, letter counts, Day numbers, etc. that tell the story told in these Sonnets, even on this one page in the original 1609 edition:

But for right now, just the Secret Shakespearean Seal numbers; 157 and 287.

ONE HUNDRED TWO spelled out is 157 Simple and 287 Kaye ciphers with the Elizabethan cipher codes.

http://www.light-of-truth.com/ciphers.html

I bring that up often here on B'Hive because the number 102 seems to show up in just the right place and I always state that 102 is a Seal Signature with 157 and 287!

In the Sonnets Pyramid design, Day 157 and Day 287 are two of the most important places in the design.

Day 157 is the first Day of Tier 7 beginning with Sonnet 67 immediately after passing through Sonnet 66.

http://www.light-of-truth.com/pyramid-GMT.php#07

For a detailed explanation of Sonnet 66, read this thread:

What is demonstrated is that there are two T's and an 11 that one must pass beyond in Sonnet 66 to begin Day 157.

Likewise, you pass through Tier 11 then Day 287 is the first Day of the 12th Tier which begins in Sonnet 122.

http://www.light-of-truth.com/pyramid-GMT.php#12

There is a typo in the 1609 original so that two T's are at the beginning of Day 287.

We see that both Day 157 and 287 have an 11 and double T's to pass through when starting the days. So what about Sonnet 102? I make the claim that 102 is a Seal Signature for 157 and 287. Will we see an 11 and two T's before we can start Sonnet 102?

We pass through Sonnet 101 before we get to Sonnet 102. We could say that the zero is a null character in 101 to get an 11. But I prefer to think of 101 more visually, like this from Peter Dawkins collection of title page and frontpieces:

I O I

You see the 11 represents Two Pillars as do the two T's. Above we see the Two Pillars with a globe between them. Like a 101.

The final two lines of Sonnet 101 begin with the letter T. Now we have the double T's we would expect. We pass beyond Two Pillars in an 11, then the two T's as we do with Days 157 and 287.

ONE HUNDRED TWO is 157 Simple cipher and 287 Kaye cipher. Here we see a clue that it is indeed a Seal Signature.

Notice the first line of Sonnet 102.

If we add up the cipher total of the regular size letters we get 444 Simple cipher.

Y loue is strengthned though more weake in see-

Remember that 157 + 287 = 444.

Let me share another 444 that is on my mind. It is on page 10 of the Secret Shakespearean Seals book:

A ROSICRUCIAN PORTRAIT. = 444 Kaye cipher, 157 + 287.

The initials, A R P add up to 33 Simple cipher. No surprise to me. 😉

http://www.light-of-truth.com/ciphers.html

Well anyway, these are some of the numbers to see. I hope I added a little evidence to the idea that 102 is indeed a Seal Signature and used as such throughout Shakespeare's works.

Now for the next part I'll try to get started on the actual story being told with Sonnet 102 and surrounding clues. The "fun" stuff!

Hi Rob , after your great first part, I am waiting for the "fun" stuff !😊

In the meantime, I noticed something in the frontispiece of SYLVA SYLVARUM (1627) that you should enjoy ! 😃

Hi Rob , after your great first part, I am waiting for the "fun" stuff !😊

Well, something became very strange in the past 24 hours. What I posted this morning I thought would be up in the afternoon yesterday. But all of the sudden "Writer's Block" kicked in. In the last few days I've been researching and even now have too many browser windows open with info I was planning on using. My Photoshop is open with several images with multiple layers, all ready to screen grab and use in my posts. MS Word has original spelling text from Sonnet 99 through 103 broken into the 1609 pages.

Seriously every year for over two decades I explore Sonnets 99 through 103 when we are in them. Sonnet 99 ends the 9th Tier (with an extra 15th line), Sonnet 100 begins the 10th Tier.

The first two lines of Tier 10, Sonnet 100:

VVHere art thou Muse that thou forgetst so long,
To speake of that which giues thee all thy might?

We just kicked around Sonnets 99 and 100 a bit on our B'Hive.

Once we get a grip on who Bacon was, his juggling of being the Son of Elizabeth, William Tudor who was supposed to become the First of many Kings (William Tudor I), and also William Shakespeare writing his biography in the Sonnets and across all the works, these "Muse" Sonnets make perfect sense. Granted, a lot of word play and humor, but we get the message. As if from a close dear friend.

I feel like I've been in Bacon's inner circle regarding Sonnet 99 through 103 for many years. Every year, mostly, I revisit reading these Sonnets building on what I learned from years prior. As if I fully understand them. Everything makes sense, and number cipher work nails it.

My goal was to share and reveal a huge Secret. Hell, I know what Bacon is saying! All I have to do is blurt it out!

Right?

Starting with Tier 10, Bacon laments his "Muse" is not saying what he wishes. It goes on for line after line through dozens of lines and at least three Sonnets. Yet the joke is that Bacon is blurting out what his missing, absent, truant, or lacking "Muse" is not saying as he is describing exactly what is missing!! That is the fun part!

I think I've seen these are the "Fair Youth" Sonnets. And from there an amazing breadth of opinions, concepts, and not accurate history. Bacon was writing to and about his various identities. That is the core of the Sonnets.

"Fair Youth"? Bacon's hidden and tragic life as William Tudor, the Son of Queen Elizabeth. Bacon tells his story by writing to himself with his real life history. William Tudor, Bacon's "True" life identity is the "Fair (Royal) Youth (himself)". It is so obvious.

Sonnet 101 is one of the "best" examples of Bacon writing to himself as William Tudor. Plus Sonnet 101 is a "transition" into Sonnet 102 (157 and 287). I wanted to share all that!

These three Sonnets, Bacon appears to suggest and challenge his "Muse" to speak up! Even with "Will T" hints!

Sonnet 101, the "passing between 11 and then two T's" Sonnet, "Make answere Muse,wilt thou not haply saie,", then "Because he needs no praise,wilt thou be dumb?".

Seriously, the final four lines of Sonnet 101 as we enter Sonnet 102 which I tried to explain in a post earlier is totally Sealed by 157 and 287!

Excuse not silence so,for't lies in thee,
To make him much out-liue a gilded tombe:
   And to be praisd of ages yet to be.
   Then do thy office Muse,I teach thee how,

Bacon is "teaching" his Muse to do what?? Obviously make Will Tudor "out-liuve a gilded tombe" and to be "praisd of ages yet to be."

How many times I have expressed that it appears to me that the Secret Seal numbers are about "Strength" and "Permanence"? Remember the first line of Sonnet 102 from previous post! 102 is 157 and 287.

My goal was to share all that with ciphers to back them up. But the very theme Bacon is writing about on the surface, his "Muse" not saying what he wants, seems to hit me. I had researched and lined up a bunch of stuff. But, it just didn't come out. "Tongue-tied" like the only italic word on the page with Sonnet 102, "Philomell". Her tongue cut out so she could not tell the Truth.

Line 7 of Sonnet 66 on the way to Day 157:

And arte made tung-tide by authoritie,

I've said a bunch here, not scratching the surface. But a while ago today I felt like I was like Bacon centuries ago lamenting my "Muse" was quiet when my mind was loud. Everything I wanted to say is on hold. Maybe for "ages yet to be", or maybe next year! 😉

Irony, Sonnets about Bacon's "Muse" being hushed, and I get writer's block. Same thing.

Using the modern alphabet, PHILOMELL is 102 Simple cipher. 157 and 287.

Skip that single italic word on the page, we have 287 words.

Of course.

First line of Sonnet 103 (the Simple cipher of Shakespeare);

A Lack what pouerty my Muse brings forth,

When the time is right, all Will be revealed. It appears it is not tonight...

I'm closing down windows and graphics, I'm sure my PC is begging for a reboot. LOL

Just want to throw out this fun tidbit.

Sonnet 102 begins in Day 239.

http://www.light-of-truth.com/pyramid-GMT.php#Dayxxxx238

So is Line 239 important?

Hmmm, I think so.

SHall I compare thee to a Summers day?

[Light-of-Truth]

The Wiki link says, "The poet is tongue-tied observer, but recognizes the beautiful praises being expressed by a rival poet."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonnet_85

I do believe we can filter down to the "Truest" meanings in the Sonnets, yet I know there are Baconians with better knowledge than me who can connect names, people, places, and events to the Sonnets that have historical basis. All of Shakespeare is permeated with multiple levels of understands and meanings. That is why it is immortal and Universal.

Just saying when I read the Sonnets, Bacon is usually talking to one or any of his three "themes", "Fair, Kind, and True" which are all versions of himself. His Mother, Elizabeth comes up, and so does Dee. Mostly, though, when I read and study, Bacon is sharing about himself. The emotion is overwhelming at times, he suffered and hoped some of us would someday be able to hear and understand his Nightingale song.

This is incredible !

I really do not believe in coincidence !

Rob (Light-of-Truth) you mentionned the Nightingtale.

It reminded me an Hymn to Queen Elizabeth written by Sir John Davies in "Hymns of Astrea" in 1599.

I felt that I had to take a closer look at it !

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc2.ark:/13960/t55d8pt4v&view=1up&seq=153&skin=2021

Here are some of the discoveries that I made this morning.

 

Imagine my surprise, discovering that "REGINA SON" shares exactly the same ciphers that the letters in the Sylva Sylvarum's Frontispiece that I have put to you yesterday.

For me it was the sign that I was on the right path.

When I noticed that one of the Hymns was entitled  "On her wit " and that the first word of the poem was EYE, I smiled !

And when I discovered the hymns entitled "On her Will " I was positively thrilled !!!

Beautiful work, Yann!

We're in the middle of Sonnet 102 right now, so extra special timing!

[Light-of-Truth]

Of her Wit

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc2.ark:/13960/t55d8pt4v&view=1up&seq=161&skin=2021

To me, "Of her Wit (below) reads like a friend praising Bacon. EYE (33) and what follows describes Bacon (William Tudor I).

By accident I stumbled on something that might be the first mention of Shakespeare in Greenes, groats-worth of witte in 1592. Bacon must be there to be found. 😉

Hi Rob, I followed your suggestion  and I have just been looking at Greenes, groat-worth of witte . 🙂 

https://shakespearedocumented.folger.edu/file/details/110

Here is something that I would like to share with you.

Facing the word "Shake" in "Shake-scene" I wondered where was the Spear.

Then I noticed an interesting line going from the G of St George to the "wit" of "with".

And following the line, right after he word "hyde" I saw the letters forming "Francis Baconi".

I don't know if it is the answer, but I love the idea ! 😊

[Light-of-Truth]

Thank you Mighty Yann!

1592? The Bacon "inner circle" was smaller, but who who was in the inside?

Davies? I have seen enough to think so.

the red letters in your image, still seeking. LOL

For what it’s worth this is coincidental to me too as I haven’t been here for a few days, but on Twitter I posted a picture to show why I think the Pyramids (Rob!) are 3 different sizes due to the 3 different sun arcs throughout the year.
 

You can just see the pyramids in the foreground - north is to the right. These are the setting sun.

One arc is high and sets north of West - that’s the summer solstice.  One is low and sets south of west. Here’s the picture.

 

Every Mason knows the Solstices are ‘encoded’ in 101

and (as per my ebook) the Washington Masonic Memorial was even given the street address 101 Callahan Drive. 

Each pillar represents John the Baptist and John the Evangelist and the two solstices with the Equinox ‘balance’ in the middle - Bacon’s Middle Way 

One of the John’s  - can’t recall which but it’s in my book died in the year 101 at Ephesus.

Anyway that’s why 101 is important to them and I’ll now go and add that picture to my thread. Love these chain synchronicities! Thank you

The Sylva Sylvarum title page has always been interesting to me because of the shadows. The Light is between the two pillars pretty much straight up above. The shadows make it clear. Bacon's other title pages I think of there is a Light and Dark Pillar, not a symmetrical pair illuminated from straight above.

Day 101 is in Sonnet 43:

http://www.light-of-truth.com/pyramid-GMT.php#Sonnet043

Day 101 begins in Line 5 of Sonnet 43 and Line 593 of the Sonnets. Day 101 ends in Line 11 of Sonnet 43 and Line 599 of the Sonnets.

Here are those 7 Lines as originally spelled:

Then thou whose shaddow shaddowes doth make bright,
How would thy shadowes forme,forme happy show,
To the cleere day with thy much cleerer light,
When to vn-seeing eyes thy shade shines so?
How would (I say) mine eyes be blessed made,
By looking on thee in the liuing day ?
When in dead night their faire imperfect shade,

 

The SH combination occurs 7 times. 6 of those combinations have 1881. S=18, H=8, A=1 to make 1881 and S=18, H=8, O=14 to make 1881 with a 4 left over. In fact, SHAD is also 188 with a 4 left over.

I tend to see 1881 as a Janus which relating to the Solstice makes sense to me. The Sun can look forward or back, yet either way is seeing to the nearest Equinox.

I just thought of something. Is the circular light on the forehead of “Shakespeare” in the First Folio engraving 

related to the light on the globe here 

?!!

It could have been a  'nod' by Rawley to cryptically show that Bacon was Shakespeare? Re book covers I have a question for you all. I'll put it in announcements. Just need your help for a minute. Thank you
