# SHAKSPERE-BACON'S CIPHER.

*(A Hint to Scientists.)*

I doubt it not—then more, far more;

In each old song bequeath'd — in every noble page or text,
(Different — something unreck'd before — some unsuspected
author,)

In every object, mountain, tree, and star — in every birth and
life,

As part of each — finality of each — meaning, behind the os-
tent,

The mystic cipher waits infolded.
