200 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES discourses prove step by step that dramatic poesy is the most delightful kind of truth ; that one may resort to puns and concealed rhymes, in order to express certain things that it is advisable to preserve the ; secrecy of one's name ; that, under certain circumstances, one shall buy a man whom one shall then place upon the stage that such manner of ; concealing, of dissimula tion is, at times, fair and to be recommended. Many an important fact was revealed in the English rhymed verses, but not a little was disclosed by the French and the Latin rhymes. The name of " Shakespeare " (hurling-dart) was hinted at. Two things were strenuously avoided ; the direct mention of the name of Shakespeare (in fact of English literature alto gether), and the literal quotation of any passages from the plays. This man of genius, coming forward in the Essays as commentator of his own works, clothed his elucidations in other words than always those he chose as the poet, as " Shakespeare." The poet such, theoretically speaking, is his opinion on the matter clothes the thoughts of the philosopher in gorgeous robes the ; language of the scholar must be plainer in style, the pictures he draws must be simpler. And yet, in spite of all, not only in the thoughts, but in the wording and manner of expressing himself, Bacon could not avoid telling us a great deal that carries the mind back to the plays. We shall now briefly bring forward a number of comparisons (such as have already been published repeatedly by others, before us). The Feare of Death is weake. 2nd Essay. Cowards dye many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once. Julius Caesar, ii. 2.
FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES 201 We see in Needle-workes, and Imbroideries, It is more pleasing, to have a Lively Worke, upon a Sad and Solemne Grounde, then to have a Darke and Melancholy Worke, upon a Lightsome Grounde. 5th Essay.
