156 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES The rhymes strike the ear at once ; the colon after the word " " necessity indicates the principal rest : It (Dissimulation) followeth many times upon Secrecy, by a necessi/y : So that, he that will be Secret, must be a Dissembler, in some degree. Besides the final rhymes on the same vowel, there are internal rhymes': "he, be, Secrecy, accent the last syllable in " many," we may whole passage as three rhymed (in which the twelve syllables are counted) : Secret." If we treat the French Alexandrines It followeth many times upon Secrecy, So that, he that will be by a necessity : Secret, must be a Dissembler, in some degree. We saw that the French <strong>version</strong>s of the Anecdotes often contained rhymes, and now we shall find that the French translations of the Essays in the same Paris edition of 1633 also rhyme. The passage on dissimulation is even more merrily rhymed and longer than in the English edition, though printed in prose as usual. For the sake of brevity we shall this time translate it at once into rhymed verses : (Dissimulation) Elle suit plusieurs fois le secret par necessite, de telle sorte que celuy qui le veut garder doit estre dissimu/e en quelque degre, pource que les esprits sont auiourcfhuy trop deliez, pour souffn'r a un homme de ientr

But we must return to the English original Essay " Of Simulation and Dissimulation " of the year 1625. For this rhymed verselet does not settle the matter nor does it end there. One object that Bacon pursued in writing his Essays, especially in those contained in the last edition, evidently was to reveal the mystery of his authorship as a poet. But that was not his only object. Those Essays served Bacon rather in elucidating also "the moral and civil" views of the Shakespeare plays. To follow the author step by step in what he says, would be to print the Essays three times over from beginning to end, The Essay, "Of Truth," affords us points of comparison with the Shakespeare- Tempest. A number of examples selected from classic antiquity, contained in the Essay, '" Of Death," show us those passages in the plays in which the poet falls back upon those stories of antiquity and learns and borrows from them in his own works. The " Essay, Of Adversitie," served also to elucidate similar passages in the plays. We need but recall the line in As You Like It (ii. i) : The idea agrees entirely Sweet are the uses of adversity. with the views of Seneca and Bacon expressed in said Essay. We will now closely examine and discuss that Shakespeare-Commentary in the Essays with the aid
