lexander Waugh, Somerset, a life-long
member of the De Vere Society, of England, in the De Vere Newsletter of October 2013 published, a special
presentation of his claimed decipherment of a passage from Polimantaie, 1595. The author of the book, allegedly written by a
“William Covell,” revealed in code, we are informed by Waugh, that Lord Oxford
was, indeed (as the text states), “Sweet Shakespeare” who was “our de Vere – a secret.” Is this
credible, and if it is, why have I not heard of it before—nor apparently have
many others?
Probably, I reasoned, after appreciatively
reading the piece, for the same reason that hardly anyone knows about my work.
And those that do, are virtually silent about it. The censoring and suppressing
of important scholarship on Lord Oxford is, to me, a virtual criminal activity
of some “Oxfordian” groups here in the United States. Hopefully a “connection”
with England on this matter will begin a new day, sans the incompetence and corruption of the past. How e’re it
be.
For this important development, I think it
best to turn first to the subject of Alexander Waugh’s “A Secret Message
Revealed” before I explain why I credit the entire work of Polimanteraie, 1595, exclusively to Lord Oxford, Edward de Vere.
I cannot but be mindful of the fact, that
this new discovery (if it is a new discovery, I’ve not searched the literature)
will be even more troubling to Oxfordians/De Verians/Stratfordians and the
“cultural establishment,” not only here in the United States, but perhaps even
more particularly in the United Kingdom.
I speak of this because the book, Polimanteraie, has in-depth discussion
of religion, philosophy, politics and the public weal, and, yes, discussions
about cipher codes in antiquity and the
breaking of them or not. But, now, we’ll pass on that and go to the
simple facts of the simple decryption of Alexander Waugh. [I deal in my next
post at some length on the Greek etymological description of addition ciphers
of Lord Oxford—and related matters].
Lord
Oxford Wrote Entire Book Polimantereia.
I hasten to note, at the beginning, Mr.
Waugh’s decryption had nothing to do with my discovery of Lord Oxford as the
author of Polimantereia, nor do I
believe it is needed for full authentication of my claim of Lord Oxford’s authorship of Polimantereia. Nonetheless, it is
certainly a dramatic, independent, letter by letter tracking of a cryptographic
message.
But cryptographic messages can also be
conveyed in foreign languages, and this case, that is the case—and , in a
sense, if you don’t know Greek, a simple, clear, cipher message is not going to
be seen by you. Therefore, Lord Oxford, specifically wrote a section of
“sutleizing on etymologies”, which etymologies in this case are Greek letters,
not English letters, and he so indicates the fact clearly. These and other amazing facts which I shall
soon retail to the public, for free.
As a forensic due diligence professional
(Miller Reports Due Diligence, Inc.), I am making a DD Analytical Finding,
that:
As to
“Confirm” or “Unable to Confirm,” MRI CONFIRMS that:
1) the indicated passages constitute a valid
cipher and Alexander Waugh and;
2)
that he properly deciphered it.
** A MRI DD Report dealing with Shakespeare
cipher claim may be seen at (“Reviews” at ericmillerworks.com].
Waugh’s Description of The
Decipherment Language :
(c-t-a-r-e-s-e)
“The
following note ‘Lucrecia Sweet
Shak-speare’ is aligned to the phrase ‘Oxford
thou maist extoll thy courte-deare-verse,’ with the words ‘Sweet Shakspeare’ specifically set to
the line containing at its centre the unique contrivance, ‘courte-deare-verse’. Now I suspect that many readers are ahead of
me and have already noticed, glaring out from this hyphenated epithet, a
message (in correct letter and word order) spelling out 'our de Vere'.) (fn 2)
I have provided a link to the reader to view the entire book,
on-line, and see exactly what is
being talking about in the original 1595 publication, to which Waugh refers. Waugh
continues:
“Less easily
spotted is the fact that the remaining letter of 'courte-dere-verse' (c-t-a-r-e-s-e) form an anagram of the
words 'a secret,' so that the whole
message on the line referenced by the note
'Sweet Shakespeare' is 'our de Vere
- a secret,' with the word ' Oxford'
carefully placed above 'deare-verse'
and within the compass of the whole side-note, "Lucrecia Sweet Shakspeare' to allow
a neat triangle of the words 'Oxford de Vere.'”
[Bold added to text. And Waugh, the reader will see, at this point
in the original text of the book, very adequately and fully explains the
missing “e” in “Shakspeare.” The link to Waugh’s entire article is below. But
for convenience I’ll quote it again:]
“To
the Oxfordian eye it is perfectly obvious what all this means, but how will the
dyed-in-the-wool Stratfordian respond? ‘An unfortunate coincidence of names,
letters, puns and marginal notes’? Hardly possible! Perhaps he will try to
argue that Covell only thought he knew the secret of Shakespeare’s identity,
but he was wrong. How then will he explain Covell’s brazen temerity in
publishing with the Cambridge University, under the noses of Burghley
(Chancellor of the University) and Essex, both of whom are intimately
associated with de Vere and with Wriothesley, Shakespeare’s dedicatee?”
It so happens, as I
was proof-reading this article, I thought to check something in William Plumer
Fowler Shakespeare Revealed In Oxford’s
Letters and turned right to p. 818, where I fortuitously found this
beautiful little “capstone” perhaps to Mr. Waugh’s decipherment. Fowler is making the point of “Shakespeare’s
frequent suggestions of reading “more than is written” in letters and he cites
the following, from the Rape of Lucrece.
Fowler is not following any chronology references at all, but for these
purposes we must note the date of publication of Rape of Lucrece was 1594, just immediately before Polimantaie!
But,
she, that never coped with stranger eyes,
Could
pick no meaning from their parling looks,
Nor
read the subtle-shining secrecies
Writ
in the glassy margents of such books.
Here in Lucrece we
have some “subtle-shining secrecies” and “parling looks” are “speaking” looks (Onions, p. 193) and these “speaking
secrets” it would seem can be “writ in the margents of books”! And, we know
this can happen and does happen because, Mr. Waugh provides exactly that. He
correlated things written in the margin, with the word secrets in the text.
Indeed, it is not
unimaginable to this poet, that many were “in the know” they read Lucrece, knew Polimantaie was by Oxford, too, and delighted in keeping their eyes
peoled for the latest “cipher.” I’m
of that opinion, as my work will certify.
And, perhaps, we should
note, too, that Mr. Waugh’s characterization of “Covell’s brazen temerity in
publishing with the Cambridge University, under the noses of Burghley. . . “
would seem to presume that “Cambridge University” would publish anything
“brazen,” without at least tacit approval of the government. Of course, Waugh
means to debunk the idea that “Covell” could probably not get away with such
brazen remarks (on a wide range of public subjects), without the collusion of
high placed people—like Lord Oxford’s father-in-law, the Prime Minister
Burghley, of England! [In passing, note the spelling of COvEll; the O and E, I
capitalize for these two letters are Oxford code letters]
OnEly ANoTHeR Step Is NeedED:
LORD OXFORD IS THE AUTHOR
I caption the above title as I
do, as I need to express a caveat to
Mr. Waugh’s important decipherment of 2013. So far as I know, no one has before
extrapolated such a convincing cipher message regarding the identity of Lord
Oxford (Edward De Vere) as Shakespeare. What Waugh apparently did not know or
perceive, at the time of his writing, is that the book itself is written by Lord Oxford—not, as he thought, by
someone just “in the know”—as he would seem to imply.
Best Proof Is Authorship
Indeed, in this case, the caveat provides, I believe, best proof
of Waugh’s decipherment!
Actually, the presumption, that
there is any other writer than Lord Oxford is superfluous to the thesis—and
even has no bearing on the message itself as revealed by Waugh. Indeed,
thinking there is someone else, other than Lord Oxford involved, introduces another
element of obscurity and complication: i.e, who? What? Why? When?, etc.—without
a hope of solving questions that mean nothing.
If Lord Oxford is the author, and
if solid evidence can be shown to that effect—who would “own” better the fact
that Oxford himself author of the cipher?
An Amazing History: A Note for the Record
Here I must note for the record,
a matter of obvious relevance, at least for this writer. The last few day of
March, 2016, I had been working on preparing my last remarks, for the time
being, on matters regarding Lord Oxford. Also in summing up my most recent
work, involved in discovering Lord Oxford’s “Master Mythic Identification,” of
which Shakespeare himself was put OnE of his “incarnations.” Also, I have tried
to communicate something of my poet’s “world-view” concerning these matters of
Art, History, Poetry & Politics which revolve about Lord Oxford.
In any case, I am pleased that a De Vereian,
Mr. Waugh, is the deserving party for due recognition of his important
decipherment. Moreover, I believe, there is also additional intrinsic evidence
of his claim, completely independent of his claim, by which the identity of the
author of the entire book can be deduced. Using said evidence, I have deduced
it. The author is Lord Oxford, as demonstrated in the below article—written
almost in its entirety just days before I found Waugh’s work—checking on a
detail in the books itself, Polimantaie
That being said, if true, then
obviously, the cipher message which Waugh decrypted, is its own intrinsic
evidence— due to the fact of authorship. Simply, if it’s true the book was
written by Lord Oxford, if it is a cipher, he certainly wrote it!
And there can be little doubt
that here Waugh has a genuine cipher. It would stagger credulity to assume, an
accidental cipher accidentally happened in a book secretly written by Lord
Oxford in 1594-5, the very years I claimed he was disseminating by ciphers his
identity with the “Phoenix”—here, there, and everywhere, so it seems.
Intrinsic Evidence
The “intrinsic evidence” of which
I speak, in the book itself, are those unique identifiers of Lord Oxford, which
I have amassed over decades of research, culled from the historical records—all
the personal descriptive adjectives, the myths, rumors, Lord Oxfords own
interrogatories in legal proceedings, and those of his accusers, virtually all
the works of the Oxfordian “pioneers,” and, in fact, I spent over a decade in
research and consumed over 700 volumes of biographies and related material
needed for a full investigation, such as I was conducting. For, in my case, I
began my interest, only as a due diligence task. I didn’t want the task; I had
no interest in the subject.
Nonetheless, my invaluable late friend
and associate, Robert Treash, who spent years working with me on this and
another biographical matter (Sigmund Freud), very much wanted my Due Diligence
Report on Lord Oxford. In any case, I could not refuse one, to whom I owed so
much. And the rest is history.
Indeed, in these last few days of
winding up my “investigation” I’ve been getting together my final “case” for
Lord Oxford’s, we may say, “ontological” mythical identification as the “PhOEnix”—with
OE as code letters (or diphthong) . To that end, I just posted on Easter last,
three days ago, summations and intimations of my work on the matter. Of course,
here, I am only going to provide the least amount of evidence to credit my Due
Diligence Finding, again, that:
Alexander Waugh found and
properly deciphered another cipher name of Lord Oxford— and in a book he did not
know was written by Lord Oxford.

DISCIPHERMENT OF POIMANTEIA

n the following passage from Polimanteia we shall now disclose another cipher, adding to the one already successfully
“read” by Mr. Waugh. I will deal here with only one page, and a few additional
remarks. The “message” passage is on page 126 of the book.
It shall be demonstrated that Lord Oxford is referring to himself in
said work as the “Phoenix” in the passage dealt with below.
Poetry is the Subject:
The State of Poetry at the time:
What Poets to read for the
future:
At the top of page 126 of Polimanteia, as marginalia, the author indicates the subject matter
being discussed. In italic the note reads:
Young men
Should write
And mure [mure = wall]
themselues
In smaller
Matters
The author, speaks in the voice of his “truest” [veriest] discernment,
that of one speaking as with a “mothers love.”
Immediately, to the right of the marginal note, the main text is given
and the words, aligned with the word “themselues” are the words, flush right margin:
“and a mother’s loue makes me tearme
them natures works. . . to
shew their excellencie: Yet follow not
to farre the conceited imitation of for-
mer time, to take trifles for subjects to
work vpon, as there in meaning to make
art wondered at that worke of nothing”
The Author Is A Poet:
He is the Phoenix Poet
It seems to me there can be little to no doubt that the writer is a
poet; he is a Matriarchal poet, for he speaks of his “mOthEr-lOvE”
Indeed, our Poet adopts the role of the Poet Muse-Mother himself/herself and delivers pronouncements on
what to pay attention to what they are doing, that they need to confine
(“mure”- wall) themselves to “smaller matters” so that they are not trying to
pass off as things of wonder which are, in fact, “nothing”! He speaks for the
poets, all poets. Indeed, as we see below, he is, as stated, their “high spirited muse” and that “muse” is “oe”
or, if you will “Phoe-nix-like.” It is a pure and simple confession, plainly
read. The entire page is below:
The page begins with these words, just below the title, as the reader
can see with the link, the line breaks as retained below from the original.
England to her
repine at euery choice, conceit, tear-
ming it, either tinie or wit, or both idle-
lie impoyed, yet my true discernment
and a mothers loue, makes mee tearme
them natures works, made with a com-
paring pride, in these latter times to
shew their excellencie: Yet follow not
so farre the conceited imitation of for-
mer time, to take trifles for subjects to
work upon, as therein meaning to make
art wondered at the worke of nothing.
I have provided the above, preliminarily to focus on the cipher
message. We must think about this
very carefully, as we already have the evidence of Mr. Waugh that there is a
cipher a la de Vere in Polimanteia. I propose what follows is
another code. The text continues. Before this, however, I would only note an
important fact. There is another marginal note in italic on the left of the
page, at the bottom, prominently seen. It states:
A fit taske
For the finest
Scholler.
This remark underscores the fact noted above that the author is stating
that the writing of fine poetry is
the rightful task for the very finest “Scholler.” The text continues, without
deletions:
Thousands of obiects might bee found
Out, wherein you high spirited muse
Might flie an vnmatched pitch, & PhŒ—
Nix-like fire her self into immortall a-
Shes by the Sunne. So onely without
Compare, eternallie should you liue: for
In your children shall the loue-writing
muse of diuine Sydnay, and
the pure
flowing streame of Chrystallin Spensir
suruiue onely: write then of Elizas
raigne, a task onely meet for so rare [Phoenix
is the “Rare One”]
a pen: it is easie to give
immortality to
an euer-liuing Empresse: or if this bee [underline added]
matter, which the baseness of these. . .
An Easy Case: Alignment
I have demonstrated, by mere alignment, the section dealing with the
Phoenix is, itself, pure poetry.
“Thousands of objects might be found out, [objects = secrets]
Wherein your high spirited muse might fly,
An unmatched pitch, and PhŒnix-like, fire
Herself into immortal ashes by the Sunne.”
I only added a comma. The lines are almost perfectly aligned
with the break. This is one of the characteristics of Lord Oxford’s poetry,
when he isn’t even writing it, but onely prose. [I use the “e” in “onely” as
it’s a favorite of the “OnE”—another of LO’s code names].
As to this particular section, we see that the “fit taske
for the finest scholar” obviously applies to our “loving-mother” for she is
their Muse, and none other—she is “fit for the task”, indeed, to an “unmatched
pitch”—because she is “like” a Phoenix (Phoenik-like”), capable of “firing
herself into immortal ashes”—and these ashes are made immortal by the Sunne!
Light!
After the Phoenix, What?
Read Sidney and Spenser
For the OnEly “pure flowing stream”
So, our Poet-Loving-Mother, made immortal by the Sunne—ex cathedra (who is declaredly capable
of OnEly the finest, then pronounces that, in so many words:
So, OnEly, without compare,
incomparably, the poet shall then live, eternally, and to the children of the
future, for them, the “love-writing muse” of diuine Sydnay and Spensir alone
shall survive.
And, I need, note, as seen above, “the pure flowing steame
of Chrystallin Spensir survive onely.” This is commented on directly below.
Here, I’ll only remark that it is a fact, to me, as my research indicates,
Sidney and Spenser were both deeply
influenced by Lord Oxford, he was their mentor—to the extent they were capable
of assimilating his “message.”
The
Phoenix Nest is a Best Seller, 1593-4
Venus & Adonis, 1593, is a Best Seller,
Rape of Lucrece, 1594, is a Best Seller
,
Now the plot thickens. Readers must know very important
facts here. This is in 1595, In 1593 “The Phoenix Nest” was written, a huge
successes! Everyone was talking about it, if it was a huge success and it was!
The poems in the “Phoenix Nest” are praises of Sidney and Spenser. And, the
leading poems for that book are an unknown “Gentleman”—whom I have identified,
with no cavil, as Edward de Vere—in a series of research papers. For it is from
those poems that I decrypted Lord Oxford’s code name of the “Phoenix.” First, I
learned it was OE, and then I saw OE in the Heart of the Phoenix.
Our Poet “your poet”), is speaking to the future, and for
the poets to use Sidney and Spenser as their models and to write of Elizas
[Queen Elizabeth] for posterity:
: write then of Elizas
raigne, a task onely meet for so rare
a pen: it is easie to give
immortality to, [comma added]
and euer-liuing Empresse
The task that is OnEly meet, is a “rare pen” and one for
whom it is “easy” to “give immortality to”
(apparently unlike everybody else). This is because the Queen is an
“ever-living” Empresse; she is “ever” ling, because, E.Ver gave her immortal
life through his poetry, that’s why she is ever-living. And that’s why he tells
unborn generations to go to the praises of Eliza (of which he wrote many) and
you will find your Phoenix.
Here, I’ll note but one thing more, intimated above, Venus and Adonis features a epigraph
quote from Ovid, which was just published shortly before Polimanteria. The quote is:
Villa
miretur vulgus: Mihi flaus Apollo
Pocula
Castalia plena minifiret aqua
It is a famous quote, wide used and commented on.
Translations vary greatly. Mine would be:
Marvel at
the stir of commoners! Give me
Apollo’s running
full-cups of Castillian water.
I well know
I have no competence in Latin, but I’ve read many versions and looked carefully
at what I could. Certainly, the above is more technically correct than
Marlowe’s famous translations, met with everywhere—but, I suspect, for a cipher
purpose itself, with Marlowe “capping” on many things in his translation
dealing with “Shakespeare” in particular, Venus
& Adonis but also perhaps, Polimantaeia.
Research continues on that.
The point is,
it appears to this writer, that the comments by the author of Sidney’s “pure
flowing stream of Chrystallin” is very suggestive of “Castillian Spensir, a misspelling of Spenser—and
more reminiscent of his own quotation use from Ovid as epigraph to Venus and Adonis.
All this may
be incarnate in the “Sweet Shakspeare” remark, suggesting even more that the
above is a “play-off” the Ovid quote for Venus
and Adonis [Adone, in Latin, adOnE].
