<<An exaltation of queen Elizabeth I's virgin purity identified
her with the {MOON goddess} *who holds dominion over the waters*.
Sir Walter Raleigh had begun to use {DIANA} and later {CYNTHIA}
as aliases for the queen in his poetry around 1580, and images
of Elizabeth with jewels in the shape of crescent moons or the
huntress's arrows begin to appear in portraiture around 1586
and multiply through the remainder of the reign.>> ----------------------------------------------------------------

<<Amelia Bedelia is the protagonist and title character of a series of American children's books written by Peggy Parish until her death in 1988, and by her nephew, Herman Parish, beginning in 1995. The stories involve Amelia Bedelia repeatedly
misunderstanding various commands of her employer by always taking figures of speech and various terminology literally, causing her to perform incorrect actions with a comical effect. For example, a request to "put out the lights" to her, means to
literally put the lights outside. Part of her insight into literalism is that she comes from a family who takes everything literally: their method of ridding their house of dust is to "undust the furniture." However, she almost always manages to win
everyone over at the end by baking a delicious <PIE>. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Worcester's, *Oxford's* and *The Admiral's*
First published in Shakespearean Authorship Review (English)

http://www.sourcetext.com/sourcebook/library/bowen/26worcester.htm

*Fisher's Folly* , so-called after the builder and first owner,
Jasper Fisher, who died in 1579/80, was in the 1580's
the residence of the Earl of Oxford. It was later to become
Devonshire House and Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) informs us
that Edward Alleyn "was born in the aforesaid parish
(i.e. St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate), near Devonshire House,
where now is *THE SIGN OF THE PIE*. He was bred a Stage-player"
- [Worthies of England (1662), by Thomas Fuller.]

At *THE SIGN OF THE PIE*, one would naturally expect to find
an inn, which of course, would have given its name to the alley,
not the other way round; so in spite of Fuller's "now," the inn
must have existed, under that name, at least as early as 1615.
*PIE (or MagPIE) ALLEY* was just south of Devonshire Street,
leading to Devonshire House, and *PIE ALLEY* presumably led
to the *PIE INN*, which was, therefore, not only "near"
but "next" to Devonshire House. As G. F. Warner writes
in his Introduction to the Catalogue of MSS. & Muniments of
Alleyn's College, Dulwich: "Fuller's often-quoted statement
that he (Edward Alleyn) "was born 'near Devonshire House,
where now is *THE SIGN OF THE PIE*' is fully confirmed
by the mention of *PYE ALLEY* and Fisher's Folly,
the old name of Devonshire House, in close connexion
with his father's property." [G. F. Warner, p. XV.]

It seems that he had sold Fisher's Folly just in time, and at
about the same time he sold Oxford Place, near London Stone,
to Sir John Hart who, as Stow tells us, kept his mayoralty there.

Oxford was certainly in no position at this time to maintain a London
company of players, and a company travelling under his name is last
heard of at Maidstone in 1589-90. At about the same time, a company
under the patronage of Edward, 4th Earl of Worcester (son of the
third Earl) makes its first appearance, at Coventry. It was this
company which, sooner or later, was amalgamated with Oxford's.

Meanwhile, on 14th July 1589, the Privy Council had written to
Adlerman John Hart and others, "requiring them to take order for
the relief of John Allen, "servaunte to me the Lo. Admirall,"
against a certain Dr. Martin, "who seeketh by indirecte meanes
to make frustrate a lease of a certain tenement and a garden
demised by one John Roise to the suppliant's father and Mother and
himselfe." [G. F. Warner, p. 85.] This letter, signed by Charles
Howard (the Lord Admiral) and other members of the Privy Council
contains what seems to be the earliest known reference to John
Alleyn as "servant to the Lord Admiral." It is well known that
he was in the Admiral's service "in" 1589 and I have, therefore,
gone to a good deal of trouble to find out on what contemporary
evidence this rather vague knowledge is based. According to the
Shakespeare Encyclopaedia, he was "listed in 1589 as a member of
the Admiral's Men and as part owner, with his brother Edward, of
'playinge apparelles . . .'" which rather implies that the source
of both pieces of information was the same; but as I have said,
Richard Jones's deed of sale names no company. The odds were,
of course, heavily against finding any such allusion,
dated 1589 and earlier than 3rd January, but the above
letter was in fact written six months after the deed of sale.

In the deed of sale, itself, John Alleyn was described as a
"Citizen and Innholder of London," and though no parish is named,
he was presumably still an innholder of St. Botolph's without
Bishopsgate; as he is known to have been just a year before, or less.
Now, I am not suggesting that the property referred to in the letter
was identical with that bought by John and Edward from their mother
and step-father in 1585, obviously it was not, though it may have
been adjacent to it. Anyway, this dispute over the lease is worth
noting for what it tells us of John's reduced circumstances shortly
after the sale of Fisher's Folly. He was badly in need of a powerful
friend at this time and found one in the Admiral, who may have taken
him into his own household, but there is no need to suppose that he
became a member of the Admiral's company before November 1590, when
he and James Tunstall were playing at the Theatre. The dispute over
the lease was apparently still unresolved in December, 1589, when
Howard drafted a letter to Sir William Drury, D.C.L., "umpire in
the above dispute, asking his friendship and favour in behalf of
his servant, John Allen." [G. F. Warner, p. 86.] We do not know
the outcome, and neither do we know what became at this time of
those four messages next to Fisher's Folly, though we may infer
from the lease of 1615 that either John or Edward, or both, still
owned "PYE ALLEY," but neither of them seems to have lived there
after 1592, when John Alleyn describes himself as late of the
parish of St. Botolph without Bishopsgate.>>

<<The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare originally published in the First Folio of 1623. Shakespeare's apparent mistake of placing the Oracle of Delphi on a small island has been used as evidence of Shakespeare's limited education. However,
Shakespeare again copied this locale directly from Greene's "Pandosto". Moreover, the erudite Robert Greene was not in error, as the Isle of Delphos does not refer to Delphi, but to the Cycladic island of Delos, the mythical birthplace of Apollo, which
from the 15th to the late 17th century in England was known as "Delphos". Greene's source for an Apollonian oracle on this island likely was the Aeneid, in which Virgil wrote that Priam consulted the Oracle of Delos before the outbreak of the Trojan War
and that Aeneas after escaping from Troy consulted the same Delian oracle regarding his future.

The name {DELIA} refers to the tiny Greek island of Delos (Ancient Greek: Δῆλος), the birthplace of Artemis and her twin brother Apollo.>>

But what I was really hoping to find was examples of Elizabethan ciphers. This took quite a long time, basically because there aren’t any. None have survived, although several people at the time did describe various useful techniques which might have
been used, for all we know. (Strictly speaking, one should class acrostics as very simple ciphers. The Elizabethans were certainly fond of them, and quite a lot do survive, especially in poetry.) The only example of a cipher I was able to find was in a
biography of John Dee, the Elizabethan savant and astrologer (he was instructed by Robert Dudley to choose an auspicious day for the Queen’s Coronation, and many people would agree that he did a good job). Here (left) is the example his biographer gave
to illustrate a method described by John Dee. This reads, going down and up the columns,

“The Spanish ships have sailed.” The message would be sent off,
reading across, as T H S S A H S H E I E I I V L S N P A E P A S H D.

To someone intercepting it, it would obviously proclaim itself as a coded message and to decode it, all one has to do is to count the number of letters––25––and write it out again in a 5 by 5 square. It is amusing to learn that Dee regarded this
as “a childish cryptogram such as eny man of knowledge shud be able to resolve.”

of the Greek *moon goddess* Artemis or else representing a
short form of A{DELIA}, Be{DELIA}, Cor{DELIA} or O{DELIA}.>> -----------------------------------------------------------------
Delia Bacon: Hawthorne's Last Heroine* by Nina Baym http://www.english.uiuc.edu/baym/essays/last_heroine.htm

<<{DELIA} Bacon had been victimized in a nasty little scandal
that fractured the New Haven Congregational community in 1847. Her
brother Leonard Bacon, a minister, formally accused Alexander McWhorter,
also a minister, of attempting to evade an engagement with Delia Bacon
by defaming her. Leonard was backed by the town clergy, McWhorter by
the YALE faculty. The evidence supported Leonard's claim, but the church proceedings that followed produced only the equivalent of a slap on the
wrist for the culprit and exposed Delia Bacon to public humiliation.

The bad showing by the YALE Congregationalists in this
episode delighted Boston Unitarians, and endeared
Delia Bacon especially to the women.>> --------------------------------------------------------------------
. 'Delia faileD' to expose 'Drab barD' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <<"[Delia] went thither with a dark lantern, which could but twinkle like
a glow-WORM through the volume of obscurity that filled the great dusky edifice.... She threw the FEEBLE ray of her lantern up towards the bust,
but could not make it visible beneath the darkness of the vaulted roof.
Had she been subject to superstitious terrors, it is impossible to
conceive of a situation that could better entitle her to feel them, for
if Shakespeare's ghost would rise at any provocation, it must have shown
itself then; but it is my sincere belief that, if his figure had
appeared within the scope of her dark lantern, in his slashed doublet
and gown, and with his eyes bent on her beneath the high, bald forehead,
just as we see him in the bust, she would have met him fearlessly and controverted his claims to the authorship of the plays, to his very
face.... Her vigil, though it appears to have had no definite object,
continued far into the night. Several times, she heard a low movement in
the aisles; a stealthy, dubious footfall prowling about in the darkness,
now here, now there, among the pillars and ancient tombs, as if some
restless inhabitant of the latter had crept forth to peep at the
intruder. By-and-by, the clerk made his appearance, and confessed
that he had been watching her ever since she entered the church."

The obsession with physical digging in Hawthorne's story
is more his own than hers. It echoes the innumerable
metaphors of subterranean concealment, buried treasure,
and underground corpses that run through his work.

Bacon writes of the unseen bust of Shakespeare looking down at her
& the clerk's creaking footsteps; in Hawthorne's rewriting these Gothic undertones balloon until they eclipse the rest of her account. Bacon's
letter confesses enormous anxiety, discomfort, even fear. Hawthorne
insists that she was unafraid; his Bacon, serene in her sense of right,
seems to have come to the church expresly for the Revolutionary
encounter that Hawthorne causes to happen, in which she valiantly
confronts and defies the terrific authority of the bard who has
simultaneously come down from his pedestal and risen from the dead.
In brief, there is the outline of an unwritten novel here that
would supplement the stories of Hester, Zenobia, and Miriam
with the tale of one more Hawthornean heroine.>> ------------------------------------------------------------------
