The Shakespearians c'aini that Bacon never wrote verso under hs own nanv. J'o which the Baconians reply that -f vou read Bacon's "History of Hear? VII you will find something uncommonly like blank verse itefore you have gone far. Not'e . too, how he shapes iiis sentences in some of the Essays. Compare a line ot " Hamlet" with a phrase from Bacon. Take this line: — "Some are bom great-, some achieve greatness, and some (five greatne'-s thrust upon them." You wjll notice the three distinct (lasses in that sentence. Then listen to Bacon. "Heading niaketh :: full man, conference a ready mail, and writing an exact man."' The same trick, you see. La.st of all, there is the anagram or hidden sentence which has been d'stovered in the fifth act of "Love's Labour Lost." It is put in the form of a Latin word, "honoriticabilitudinitatibus which contains a'l the letters n°cessary to make a Latin sentence which reads, v lien translated: —"These plays, intrusted to themselves, proceeded from Kr. Bacon." This, when added to the other evidence. proves to the satisfaction of th.r Baconians that Bacon was the world's greatest poet writing under the name of Shakespeare.
