SHAKSPERE-BACON CIPHER, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I doubt it not - then more, far more
Last Line: A mystic cipher waits infolded.
Subject(s): Bacon, Francis (1561-1626); Dramatists; Philosophy & Philosophers; Plays & Playwrights; Poetry & Poets; Shakespeare, William (1564-1616)


I doubt it not -- then more, far more;
In each old song bequeath'd -- in every noble page or text,
(Different -- something unreck'd before -- some unsuspected author,)
In every object, mountain, tree, and star -- in every birth and life,
As part of each -- evolv'd from each -- meaning, behind the ostent,
A mystic cipher waits infolded.
