1743? Händel wrote a “Te Deum”; why should not Kent (whom the ninth Earl
had known for decades) design a statue? But according to Wikipedia, it
was done a commemorate a legend that Shakespeare had once performed in
the courtyard. Shakespeare’s reputation had already risen above its reduced state following his death; look at the prologue to Theobald’s “Double Falshood” (1728).

Presumably because Wilton House wanted to erect Shakespeare's statue in 1743. He was quite famous by then. And the First Folio had thanked the 'incomparable pair of brethren' for their support for him living.

So John, Can you reason Robert Greene's Lamilia's Fable?La, if you simply google “fox" "badger" "ewe" you will learn that, down
to this day, farmers complain that badgers kill sheep, but scientists disagree, saying that a badger is far more likely to feed on a sheep
already killed by some other creature. It’s a pretty little pastiche of Æsop, needing no conspiracy theorist to shake his head and say, “There’s
a double meaning in that.” Get yourself some new garters.

EXSqM).Presumably because Wilton House wanted to erect Shakespeare's statue in 1743. He was quite famous by then. And the First Folio had thanked the 'incomparable pair of brethren' for their support for him living.This reason is better than wiki's "It commemorates an unproved legend that Shakespeare came to Wilton and produced one of his plays in the courtyard." Abductive reasoning, core of strong AI, is to find the best (not the only or right) explanation.
Some Shakespeare cruxes are being legended to rationalize them. How Falstaff dies is misread the most, which links Herne the Hunter (a legend?) with Henry VIII. Falstaff dies of transgender operation. He wants to be a woman (https://youtu.be/4xk-l-
Wilton House's 1743 statue is the same as Westminster Abbey's in 1741 except the inscription. Why changed the inscription to "And then is heard no more!" if Shakespeare's reputation had already risen to a Westminster level?
To support Lamilia's fable, Greene made Roberto's tale right after the fable. Only two characters are named in the tale.
• an old squire — father of the bride
• the bride — the old squire's daughter
• the bridegroom — a peasant (farmer's son)
• a young gentleman — suitor of the bride
• Mother Gunby — friend to the young gentleman
• Marian — Mother Gunby's daughter
This naming list is unusual because Mother Gunby and Marian are not protagonists and they have no dialogue unlike others.
"Mother Gunby" can spell Henry Herbert.
"Marian" can spell Mary.
"Gunby's daughter Marian" can spell Mary Sidney Herbert.
This design matches the Ewe and Ewe's brother Bell-wether in Lamilia's fable.
Anagrams can well reason seemingly tedious lines and difficult words, and reveal William Shakespeare was just a front man. Anagrams together with riddles like Falstaff's death that scholars cannot solve shall make Shakespeare greater.

marcI was wandering what kind of author will create the term Turlygod.
Find the best explanation is the principle of abductive reasoning. Collaboration of Shakespeare should be done in serial. The last author seals codes to assure consistency, and discredits traitors like Edward de Vere.
Turlygod may come from "God truly," a term appears three times in 1587 Geneva Bible of the same moral, and once in 1611 KJV but different. King Lear's 1608 quarto has already Turlygod. (Geneva Bible, Mark 12:14–17, Luke 20:21–25, and Matthew 22:16
Result of tracing "God truly" in Geneva: Render to Caesar that are Caesar's; to God that are God's. I believe this is what ragEd Edgar tries to tell the world, and somehow answers your question.

Hamlet "will come by and by" his revenge. He needs their natures but lacks letter
h and t for Camel (endurance) to spell Hamlet,
m, t, h for Weasel (shrewdness),
m and t for Whale (valuables within).
This dialogue is to notify Hamlet to meet his mother. The meeting will complete Hamlet with m, t, h, by MoTHer.

empty of meaning. He had a lot to say, and
nearly always took the opportunity.
Lilian Winstanley, a Stratfordian, in her 1921
book explained the relevance of the first two
comparisons. (Btw, she readily accepted that
Polonius=Burghley. Modern academics hold
their noses at this, realising the dangerous
implications.)
Winstanley: Hamlet, and the Scottish Succession; (1921) p. 125.
=================== p. 125.
Yet more curious parallels may be quoted. In a
strange letter to Essex, Lord Henry Howard exults that
“ the dromedary that would have won the favour of the
Queen of Sabez is almost enraged” (meaning Burleigh by
the dromedary), and asks the earl whether “ he cannot
drag out the old leviathan and his cub” (meaning the
two Cecils). We may surely compare this with Hamlet’s
conversation with Polonius :
HAM. Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a
camel?
POL. By the mass, and ’tis like a camel, indeed.
HAM. Methinks it is like a weasel.
POL. It is backed like a weasel.
HAM. Or like a whale?
POL. Very like a whale.
When we remember that Shakespeare would, in all
human probability, have had access to the Essex corre-
spondence shown by Essex himself, we can see the point
still more strongly.
It is hardly necessary to show, how, in the corre-
spondence of the time, such as that of Standen and
Anthony Bacon, Burleigh is continually alluded to with
contempt. Thus Standen writes to Anthony Bacon,
March I 595, that the queen paid no heed to Burleigh,
when he protested against the expedition to Cadiz:
“ When she saw it booted not to stay him, she said he
was a ‘ froward old fool.’ ”
end of quote ================
Full credit is due to Winstanley for identifying
the camel (the 'dromedary') and the whale
(the 'leviathan'). I don't know how she
imagined that the Stratman would have "in all
human probability" got access to the Essex
correspondence.
The real story must be that Burghley had
long been known by a variety of derogatory
nicknames among the jealous, usually
opposing noble courtiers. This passage in
Hamlet could have been written at almost
any time during Elizabeth's reign.
The Ogburns, who picked up these references,
suggested that 'weasel', employed here by
Oxford, was just another passing insult. But it
could well be more, and have been in general
use by courtiers, as Burghley had been long in
favour of the Queen's marrying (to a
Frenchman, if necessary) and weasels were
then associated with fertility.
https://beforethesecondsleep.wordpress.com/2022/02/25/the-sexy-weasel-in-renaissance-art-by-carol-mcgrath/
Polonius > Burleigh > dromedary > camel
Polonius > Burleigh > leviathan > whale
Polonius > Burleigh > passing insult or fertility > weasel
Transformed three times.
Weasel has different logic than camel and whale.
Polonius or Burleigh can fit camel + whale + weasel?
Anagram is a tool. Shakespeare's view on tool:

Hamlet can know a preyer (hawk) from his handsaw, a tool or a hacked sword.
Hawk may be inspired by "sword (words) hacked" and "handsaw." Hamlet is hacked from Amleth. Hack the word hamlet will get imperfect camel, weasel, whale; cloud can be shaped imperfectly like letters be anagrammatized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_peerages_created_for_women
As it states in the article:
" . . . Prior to the regular creation of life peerages, the great majority of peerages were created for men. Suo jure peeresses are known from an
early period; however, most of them were women to whom a peerage
had passed as an inheritance. It was very rare for a woman to be
created a peeress before the 17th century. . . ."
What I stated was the case. Females did
not inherit titles of nobility. The title
AND the property went to the nearest
living MALE relative.
This was Illyria.
All the characters were, in effect, English,
and accepted as such. No one thought of
adopting a fake "Illyrian accent". But this
was the theatre. Audiences suspended
disbelief. Almost any story went
unquestioned.
Foreigners can do all sorts of things.
Almost every educated member of the
audience would have known that, if
anything, females had an even lower
status than in England. E.g. Salic law,
discussed at length in Henry V. Laws
that allowed noble females to inherit
titles -- OR grant them by marriage --
would have been rightly seen as
nonsensical -- if anyone had stopped
to think.
He could make things up. He was good at making things up.
There's not a lot 'made up' in Twelfth
Night -- or not in the way Strats have to
imagine. He based his works on reality --
on real people in real (if somewhat
distorted circumstances). That's why
they ring so true. That's what great
artists do -- as a matter of course. Joyce's
"Molly Bloom" was a real woman, even if
far from a 100% accurate depiction.
Twelfth Night is the Elizabethan court in
late 1579 -- translated to Illyria for comic
effect.
The OED finds it recorded (ie written down) in 1700. You think it was a neoligism invented by a writer? No, it was common parlance among plasterers for years before that, along with trowel https://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A51548.0001.001/1:28.1.6?rgn=div3;view=fulltext
As in "that was laid on with a trowel". (As You Like It)
Shakespeare was familiar with both words. Perhaps he knew a plasterer.
1) How Olivia a countess? She was never
married, and females NEVER inherited
titles of nobility.
Not “never". It generally depends on the terms of the original creation, but it is definitely possible throughout Europe for a woman to possess a title suo jure. For example, Anne Boleyn was only a queen consort, but
was Marquess of Pembroke in her own right.
But none of this matters, since, as I have already remarked, the
possibility of a woman inheriting a title and the possibility of a
husband receiving some share in that title were both perfectly ordinary
in Europe.

Your 'exception' proves the rule. The
raising of the status of Anne Boleyn to
Marquess was all smoke and mirrors
-- important to the participants but, in
reality, fooled no one. It was the will
of the monarch. She got the title (and
and the lands) in September. They
married in November, and all the
property became the king's.
Other 'exceptions' follow much the
same pattern and, in most cases,

No, you’re simply wrong. Inheritance law is much more complex than you imagine,

particular case of Olivia, we KNOW she has a dead brother, and that the
play supplies him with neither a widow nor children, which makes that

Four noblewomen with inherited peerages

hardly expect the playwright (as you see him)
or the actors in his company, let alone the
public audiences, to know much about them.
They'd know even less about those from
earlier centuries.
1513 - 1539 8th or 2nd Countess of Salisbury Margaret Pole
1526 - 1580 12 Baroness Willoughby de Eresby Catherine Willoughby (Brandon) (Bertie) Duchess of Suffolk
1540 - 1543 7th Baroness Bourchier Anne Bourchier (Parr)
1587 - 1591 16th Baroness de Ros Elizabeth (Manners) Cecil
(All taken from Wikipedia, with some editing)
1) Countess of Salisbury Margaret Pole
She was the most famous, executed in 1541 by Henry VIII for being the mother of Cardinal Pole.
Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury (14 August 1473 – 27 May 1541) was the only surviving daughter of George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence, a brother of Kings Edward IV and Richard III (all sons of Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York), by his wife
2) Catherine Willoughby (Brandon) (Bertie)
Katherine is said to have been 'one of the greatest heiresses of her generation'. However her inheritance became a subject of dispute for many years, as there was doubt as to which lands had been settled on the heirs male and which on the heirs general.
She married Charles Brandon -- a great favourite of Henry VIII, who made him Duke of Suffolk.restoring Mary to what was left of her father's property."
Following Charles Brandon's death in 1545, it was rumoured that King Henry had considered marrying Katherine as his seventh wife, while he was still married to his sixth wife, Catherine Parr, who was Katherine's close friend.
The Duchess of Suffolk was appointed guardian (of Cartherin Parr's infant) after Parr's death.
"The Duchess could not support the young infant so she wrote to Sir William Cecil, asking for funds. The letter reflects her resentment towards the child. The letter was obviously taken into account for in January 1550, an act in Parliament was passed
She married her second husband, Richard Bertie (25 December 1516 – 9 April 1582), a member of her household, out of love and shared religious beliefs, but she continued to be known as the Duchess of Suffolk, and her efforts to have her husband namedLord Willoughby de Eresby were unsuccessful.
3) Baroness Bourchier Anne Bourchier (Parr)
Anne was related to three queen consorts of Henry VIII; Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, and Catherine Howard who all shared the same great-grandmother Elizabeth Cheney
4) Elizabeth Manners
On her father's death the Earldom of Rutland devolved upon his brother, the Barony of Ros passed to his daughter, Elizabeth.
Married a grandson of Lord Burghley (a son of Thomas) and became Elizabeth Cecil.
The first of these ladies had royal blood; the
second close relations with the monarch; the
third and fourth just high nobility. The 'de jure'
titles they inherited did not go along with
property, and most endured poverty (at least
relative to their status) at some points in their
lives. These titles are rarely inherited by
females, and are little more than decoration
Other 'exceptions' follow much the

No, you’re simply wrong. Inheritance law is much more complex than you imagine,A nightmare. 'Bleak House' multiplied

married noble female inheriting proper
titles and running her own estates. The
brother would, in 99.9% of cases, be
prevented (by tradition, custom, relatives
-- or lawyers) from passing on titles and/
or property to a female. If he died
without making a will it would all go to
the nearest male relative.
Likewise for a household servant
becoming 'a count' merely by marriage.
The playwright did not put nonsense
into plays on a whim. He was clearly
saying something.
Anagrams are silly games that can be used to "prove" any old nonsense. As Shakespeare knew. "M. A. O. I. .. - what should that alphabetical position portend? If I could make that resemble something in me. .."
Shakespeare knows something of the Countess of Salisbury: she's
onstage in Richard III. As a child. But he takes the trouble to include her.

Shakespeare's Hamlet isn't an anagram of anything - he just copies [Kyd's?] earlier Hamlet. "whole Hamlets, I should say handfuls, of tragical speeches" (Thomas Nashe, 1598); "looks as pale as the vizard of the ghost which cried so miserably at theTheatre, like an oyster-wife, 'Hamlet, revenge!' " (Thomas Lodge, 1596)
Hamlet is an anagram of Amleth, a fact.
Can you find a solid reason how Shakespeare named Hamlet?

While "Vast-earning monograph" is also an an anagram of "Anagrams prove nothing."Anagram is a tool. Use it properly, get proper result.
Anagram is one-level transformation, easy to make, fault tolerant to unfixed spelling.
Oxfordian's gematria is multi-level, precision sensitive:
- position shift (when needed);
- W to VV (when needed);
- letter to digit;
- digits to sum.
Each level more diverges the cipher's solidness.

I would suggest that along with "unfixed spellings" and assuming that intentional anagrams are a consequence, that the concept of "reverse speech" be considered.
" . . . theory that during spoken language production, human speakers subconsciously produce hidden messages that give insights into their innermost thoughts." Evidently, can make out underlying subconscious thoughts by reversing speech order?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_speechShakespeare exhausted rhetorical devices in his work. Boustrophedon is one close to _reverse speech_. Boustrophedon can be applied to Shakespeare's epitaph and monument. The term "passenger" is a hint. For a passenger to _walk_ through lines like a
Hamlet's "a Hawk from a Handsaw" has nothing to do with authorship or anagram. Meaning of hawk is easy to catch, but the audience can hardly connect hawk with handsaw quickly, unless Hamlet takes a hacked sword and swings it along with the word handsaw.It's a riddle for riddler.
The background of Amleth Hamlet is Touchstone's "Jove in a thatched house" (As You Like It). If poor poets can serve their disguised patrons well, like Baucis and Philemon served disguised Jove and Mercury, gods (nobles) will turn the poor's hamlets topalace.
Thomas Nashe knew the secret of Shakespeare as a member of the "perpetual league" in Lamilia's fable. Amleth to Hamlet is a hint to solve Shakespeare's secret via anagrams.
Nod-I is an imperfect anagram of noddy. Some editions remove the hyphen and change "I" to Ay, and destroy Shakespeare's design. The hyphen is a hint to merge, similar design appeared in M.O.A.I. The audience won't know any hyphen.
The playwright did not put nonsense
into plays on a whim. He was clearly
saying something.

"He was clearly saying something."
To title Olivia countess, Shakespeare let her
brother die shortly after her father's death.
The key is, Olivia abjures men for seven years
is for love of her brother, not father.
ORSINO.
O she that hath a heart of that fine frame
To pay this debt of love but to a brother,
Countess of Pembroke, Mary Sidney Herbert,
her father Henry Sidney died on May 5, 1586.
Five months later her brother Philip Sidney died.
VIOLA.
And what should I do in Illyria?
My brother he is in Elysium,
Perchance he is not drowned:
Shakespeare granted the Countess' wish to let
Philip Sidney lives in Elysium, her drama world,
and what should she do in this illy air?
Illyria (not italicized) is a perfect anagram of
illy air.
Spelling of Viola is within Olivia. Olivia= I, Viola.

Twelfth Night was written 1600-2.
Hamnet Shakespeare died in 1596.
Susanna Shakespeare thus became William Shakespeare's heir.
William bought 105 acres of land in 1602.
His pursuit of his father's claim to be a gentleman was probably to ensure she and Judith were gentlemen's daughters when it came to marriage.
Susanna didn't marry till 1607, when she was 24.
And it is reasonable to assume that she mourned her brother.
Alternatively, feel free to make up any old nonsense.

CAPTAIN.
Where like _Orion_ on the Dolphines backe,
I saw him hold acquaintance with the waues,
So long as I could see.
VIOLA.
For saying so, there's Gold:
It was Arion on dolphin's back being saved, not Orion.
A printer error, Shakespeare's fault, or a hint?
Viola marries Orsino at the end. Orsino = Orion's.
"Dolphines" can spell Philip Sidney except letter d.
"Gold" giving by Viola completes her brother's name and
makes him alive in the literary world. This design is
similar to Camel Weasel Whale.
