Cipher In The Heart: Oxford/Shakespeare

                       ***************

Lord Oxford & Shakespeare:
CIPHER, IN THE HEART
     OF THE PHoeNIX

Elwood LeRoy Miller, Feb. 21, 2016

                                preface

 Now come we here to make our final pass,
 And, in this pass, we let our passions pass,
 No more to dwell on dark-things of history,
 But, to let be that fraud, that sure calumny--
 Those, O dastardly perfidies—Let us not dwell,
 I tell myself, no more! Now, onely simple truth.
 Our story ‘s simple,  very clear and easy to tell:
 De Vere was truly the OnE and onely, forsooth:
   Th’ evidence confirms, we think you’ll agree
   And Truth being True, we’ll state it in poetry.    

 INRODUCTION:

THE PHoeNIX:
2 ToNeS
OnE ToNGe

[Playing around, the Muse’s imps tease me, with urging me—I mean it, actually “urging” me—to throw in one of their ditties, which is: to note that spoken “Two Tones, One Tonge” spoken in ordinary fast speech, sounds like Chinese!  Chinese, which Lord Oxford had an interest in, and, of course, especially Chinese poetry—how do I know this? Read the Arte of Englishe Posie, 1589—in any case, maybe my Chinese Muse is chiming in, which well may be the case, to remind me, that—spoken at ordinary pace in Chinese language spirit, “TwOOO TOOOnnNe, OnnE ToonG” gives two tones—forget the one tongue. Can one had a “ha, ha,” in an important document?—A decipherment, I am aware, which may be one of the most famous in history—certainly literary history!]

 Playing With An Odd Creature:
Turn-around ‘s ‘Vere Play: EO=OE

To discredit these findings, much needs be explain’d,
How two such different persons could have one plot;
That in One word Two names are somehow wrought,
But, One, as word, is nothing, a zero that be retained.
And, in that zero, is the very word and name of cipher,
Exactly the same. It is the truth we’re here to discover.   

[Note: the above & immediately below, refers to the fact that both Shakespeare and Earl of Oxford (OE), uses the exact same unique cipher to discuss why they can’t reveal their names—as odd as that one is. The issue is dealt with at length—the two names are the names of many things, Oxford’s name, Edward and Oxford, and de Vere, etc. and Shakespeare is another of two names, etc. Discursive discussions follows elsewhere. No further commentary will be given here.  If the reader encounters a “both” it’s a reference to theat. elm]

But, each to the othere never can be its owne
For In both cases, in both cases, too, the truth
Can’t ere be told: ‘Cause there’s none, forsooth!
Why? Because in both cases, one is always none!

How can such an odd creature, as that One,
Hide its unknowne identity, you ask?
Why, there is nowhere for suche a thing to bide,
As One is None, nothing ‘s got nowhere to hide!

And then the GENIUS THOUGHT occurred to hime,
As one-in-one, he suddenly heard, two songs, one hyme
As no WORD  must tell his hidden name, “Well then!
If it’s all the same, I think use “OE”, my dipthong,”
He, to himself, did saye, for I have vow ‘d only
To not reveal by WORD my name, cause of my blame;
The Truth behind the reason that I must be unknown.


The Dipthong is my Saviour, there no “word” here,
And yet it be, and Heaven’s owne will, certainly,
That he, with such an extreme high-called destiny,
Can merely sing the soul of me,
The Phoenix bird is here, de Vere. That’s history.
“Aye, and there I’d be, not “e” or “o”
Or “o” or “e”, or any such sound that be,
But hidden in the sounding slide,
Of its own sounding of its sound,
As a dipthong, would have it for its owne song.
For a dipthong is no word when heard—
And the hearing of it, is its own nature—
If you like. Let that then your pleasure.

“Two tones, one tonge, and none a word,
That is how I’ll carry on the name of Edward,”
He said, and, like a true penitent, that he was--
Over and over he rehearsed the story, word
For word, he did tell again, the same old story
—“One more of the same”  and o’re and ore —
Till, frankly, it even got to be a bit-o-a-bore!

Then, suddenly, he was free to be,
The Greatest Wonder of them All
Ever and onely One, for such is the tale ,
Of OE, who took that Sun-struck name,
Of that glorious bird of mythic Arabie,
Who lives and dies in its own Oneness—
Never are there two—always onely one,
Born from the ashes of his own firey death,
Such the greatest Poet ever says his breath
Is of the same nature as that which is eternal
Where lOvE sits, too, within, ever as supernal.

And so in 1592, he wrote-up his cipher plan,
In a poem called “Love” he detailed the plot.
To be, he revealed, what he willed  be forever
Preserv’d, forevere, living as a mythic ciphere.
It’s “The PhOEnix” that’s where Ever is not!
Now, he would give his code, tell the world—
That he ‘s a person, too, has a name, Edward!

And so, in 1593, he took to write a book, indeed,
Named, if you can believe, “The Phoenix Nest.”
And thus dared to write, and more daringly told,
His Phoenix code, of himself as OE, we attest.  
He would so everywhere—in epitaphs, elegies,
Myths, too, would tell  Of the Queen of Heaven
And her deadly, punishing, Arraignments,
In everything he could—like man possessed,
Indeed, he was, but not because. . .
In any case, he declares himself guilty and sworn
Never to reveal if ever he was born.
That is, he said, himself, his “extreme destiny.”
To that, and hard facts of life we can all agree.

P.S.

 [One genius for that, we agree, but two—
With the same plot, each, the same game?
The same maxtix of “one” and, O, my Lord,
Someone hold my hand—if that is true!
And each adopted the same bird, too,
The Phoenix—Greatest Mythic Miracle?]
