i 9o FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES with them. And nobody familiar with old English poesy will hesitate for a moment to pass such rhymes as "passe" and "Place," "Sweat" and "it." The above passage translated into verse would run thus : And it came to passe that he was crucified in an Open Place, where the Sunne made his Bodie runne with Sweat, and the Raine washed it. Nor would the ear detect any difference, if we were to change the above form into that of two Alexandrineverses of six emphasised syllables each : And it came to passe, that he was crucified in an Open Place, where the Sunne made his Bodie runne with Sweat, and the Raine washed *'/. Are such sentences written by accident ? Shortly afterwards follows the prophecy which the ghost of Julius Caesar imparts to Brutus " : Philippis iterum me videbis " ("At Philippi you shall see me ! again here ; it is substituted by " A Phantasme." But every "). The name of " Caesar " is carefully avoided reader of Shakespeare knows that one of the principal scenes in the drama is here referred to. He will also at once recall the prophecy uttered towards the end of The Third Part of King Henry the Sixth (iv. 6), by Henry the King to the youth Henry Richmond (after wards King Henry the Seventh). That prophecy Bacon had in mind when he wrote the passage in the Essay :
FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES 191 Henry the Sixt of England, said of Henry the Seventh, when he was a Lad, and gave him Water ; This is the Lad, that shall enjoy the Crowne, for which we strive. After writing three lines in the style of the nurseryrhyme, the author cannot deny him the pleasure of bringing in an iambic verse of five feet, such as might have been fitly introduced in the Shakespeare His torical Plays : Henry the Sixt of England, said of Henry the Seventh, when he was a Lad, and gave him Water ; This is the Lad, that shall enjoy the Crowne, for which we strive. This is followed by a prophecy on King James, stating that there was some question about "the Change of a Name," thus connecting the king with the idea of an altered name. Then we have a prophecy which is interpreted thus : It was generally conceived, to be meant of the Spanish Fleet, that came in 88. For that the King of Spaines Sur name, as they say, is Norway. Another instance of a king whose name is : changed Spain being the same as ! Norway And again the verses are : rhymed It was general/y conceiv'd to be meant of the Spanish Fleet, that came in eighty-eight; For that the King of Spaines Surname as they say, is Norway. or we might write the verses in this form :
