Francis Bacon and Lawyers!

QBS51.png

When I read this earlier today it caught my eye. So now with a break, I took a look. I keep reading it over and over, seeing (or hearing) something.

"why might not that bee the Scull of a Lawyer?"

"Scull" of a Lawyer??

Etymology 1

From Middle English sculle (a type of oar), of uncertain origin, possibly from North Germanic, from Old Norse skola (to rinse, wash).[1]

Noun

scull (plural sculls)

  1. A single oar mounted at the stern of a boat and moved from side to side to propel the boat forward.
  2. One of a pair of oars handled by a single rower.
  3. A small rowing boat, for one person.
  4. A light rowing boat used for racing by one, two, or four rowers, each operating two oars (sculls), one in each hand.

Anyway, once into the dialog further I hear Bacon making fun of Willy, "This fellow". I'm quickly becoming convinced this is one meaning of these lines. For Bacon anyway. LOL

                 hum. This fellow might be in's
time a great buyer of Land, with his Statutes, his Recog
-
nizances, his Fines, his double Vouchers, his Recoueries:
Is this the fine of his Fines, and the recouery of his Reco-
ueries, to haue his fine Pate full of fine Dirt? will his
Vouchers vouch him no more of his Purchases, and dou-
ble ones too, then the length and breadth of a paire of
Indentures? the very Conueyances of his Lands will
hardly lye in this Boxe; and must the Inheritor himselfe
                haue no more? ha?

I just noticed a typo I missed as does the "Original Text" version that ignored it which is unusual. And annoying.

image.png.d1fdd2cd587c99d8be17a126deeb7b77.png

SCULL OF OF A LAWYER is 182 Simple Cipher.

And ONE EIGHTY TWO is 157 Simple and 287 Kaye Ciphers.

image.png.fba1943073e3554807134ee4b459245e.png

So the extra "of" helps create the Seal we may be expecting. "SCULL OF OF A LAWYER" is in a way a perfect way to Seal this dialog with 157 and 287. But we need the extra "of" for that to work.

Whether or not that is the purpose, the typo is certainly a clue on Page 277.

"I hear Bacon making fun of Willy". Certainly, in the sense that this passage could not have been written by an hostler... only a lawyer could have written such a witty contemplation of another lawyer's demise.

All of Shakespeare's works could be considered the "scull" of a Lawyer. 😉

"This fellow" is the guy who actually did one day have statutes and so on. LOL

Interesting that the first quarto of Hamlet was registered in 1602 and published the following year when the Queen died and "Willy" returned to London from Stratford.

Bacon-Shakespeare on Disguised Method

QBS52.png

Good evening A Phoenix,

The Madness of Hamlet hides the Genius of Bacon !

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/SLNSW_F1/769/index.html%3Fzoom=850.html

image.png.3dcb4252437840c0d81c68ff4b07dcc4.png

Indeed, there is a Method in his Madness !😊

There is a glossary of words related to birth.

I tried to find "Eliza" but without success.

I wonder if the "b" of "backward" and the "ess" of "happinesse" conceal his mother, the Good Queen Bess ?

And I also wonder if the capital M of "Madnesse" could be seen as a reference to Cassiopeia.

(Just some ideas !)

Thank you  A Phoenix for bringing us each day good food for thought !🙏

Indeed, Thank You A Phoenix. You reach and touch more of us than you will ever know. And will as long as Humanity survives where Shakespeare is remembered. Basically that means Eternity, for us. No end, forever and ever.

"if like a Crab you could go backward."

Crab backwards? BA RC.

CRAB is 77 Reverse cipher, but for me 101 Kaye cipher is more interesting. 101 is the Simple cipher of INFINITY.

Crab backwards? BA RC.

Crabs do go both ways; forward and backward. <-101->. The Janus. Looking both ways.

QBS52.png

In their essay on Hamlet, the Phoenixes have identified Polonius as Sir William Cecil, brother-in-law of Sir Nicholas Bacon.

https://www.academia.edu/48910078/Francis_Bacon_and_his_earliest_Shakespeare_play_Hamlet_A_Tudor_Family_Tragedy

As the Phoenixes concisely describe, it's a slightly dark yet humorous and perennially relatable scene in which the younger actor (Bacon) dances nimbly around the pedantic Polonius on a playful, intellectual level, yet without directly insulting the old man. As Hamlet knows only too well, Polonius is an informer for this usurper uncle, King Claudius, and is therefore fair game.

Bacon-Shakespeare on Being Weary of the World

QBS53.png

The unusual repetition of "too too" and "O God, God" emphasise his state of existential depression. The first line from this quote came into my mind yesterday, but I didn't know the rest of the passage til now. However effective the actor, the complexity of meanings embedded in each line of "Shakespeare" is only discernible from the written word. That Bacon was given the time to prepare and publish his collected plays in the First Folio due to the ruin of his political career by Coke and others was actually a Godsend. He turned a tragedy into a triumph by ensuring that his words would be read and spoken far beyond his lifetime. Does anyone know (roughly) how many First Folios were originally printed? Thanks AP.

Addendum :

I told you yesterday that I was looking for Elisa without success.

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/SLNSW_F1/769/index.html%3Fzoom=850.html

I think that I finally found her.

In the left column , we have the following sentence "Or my deere Maiestie your Queene heere" with the word "Queene" aligned with the "king" of "winking" and the word "Prince".

This is the starting point ! Here are the "Fruites" of my last investigation ...

Joy ! 😊
