214 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES deed," or to "act on the stage." And the double sense of the word " Free-will " is this : With the emphasis on the first " syllable, Free'-will," it would signify mental freedom only ; but, as in the line quoted, an accent is purposely placed upon the last syllable, thus " Free-will'/' we must take it that in this case "freedom of will" could only be the secondary meaning, the primary signification of the word " here intended to be conveyed being free Will, bold, forward William,"* a play upon the Christian name of that " Pilate " whom Bacon and Ben Jonson had in mind. Summa Summarum. The beginning of e Book of Essays, the last printed work which Bac.jn gave us just before he departed this life, if properly under stood, conveys the following idea : "'What is Truth?' said the actor Shakespeare (Shakspere), and would not wait for an answer. Doubtless, there are those who delight in being deceived and to whom a settled belief were a mental restraint, a shackle, maintaining, as they do, that the bold William is as good a thinker (poet), as he is an actor." The last part of the whole Book, the allusion to the " Circle of Tales" which Francis Bacon had written, * It is well known how fond the English are, and always have been, of punning, and " Will " (Bill) seems to have been a favourite name, as it lends itself so well to that purpose. Thus we have an old saying : " Will is a good sonne and Will is a shrewde boy, And wilfull shrewde Will had won thee this toy." And in the 13601 Shakespeare-Sonnet we find : " Will will fulfil the treasure of thy love."
FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES 215 and published with the actor's name as the author, corresponds to the above words. The two opening sentences of the first Essay name the author s pseudonym, the two final sentences of the last Essay name the Book itself that Bacon had in his mind from the first line of his "literary Will " to the last.
