84 FRANCIS BACON'S CRYPTIC RHYMES<br />

easily Schlegel might have rhymed by simply altering<br />

one word, thus :<br />

Denn dir, mein Damon, ist bekannt,<br />

Dem Reiche ging zu Grund<br />

Ein Jupiter ;<br />

nun herrscht im Land<br />

Ein rechter, rechter<br />

Affe.<br />

In place of "ass," expected in the original, Horatio<br />

in the German translation, of course, imagines he hears<br />

"Hund" (hound, dog).<br />

So much on the peculiarity of the rhymes<br />

in the<br />

Shakespeare Plays. We were bound to dwell upon<br />

them at some length, as we shall actually find, that,<br />

on comparison, the concealed Bacon-rhymes show a<br />

great affinity to every point in question. We shall<br />

then be posted, and need only refer back to matter<br />

with<br />

which we have become familiar.
