Richard Barnfield Knew...

[@tempest957]

Alexanders' technical ability to understand the nuance in complex 16th century English never stops amazing me! I think bordering on Genius. Thank you!

[@crownretro]

I'm looking forward to the day everyone knows! Thank you, Alexander Waugh

[@kevindcruz3633]

...and then what... Just look forward to the re.Turn of Christ...because the world that these rosacrucians have created is a hell hole.. Their followers r the sabatean Cult.. Utube : redemption through sin

[@desmanage]

Thoroughly absorbing. I did not want this to end! Thank you very much for this Mr Waugh. I am spreading your thoughts! KP

Someone said if you consider all the people that may have been Shakespeare, William ‘Shakespeare’ was the least likely

[@ronroffel1462]

The stanza in the poem In Remembrance of some English Poets by Barnfield mentioning Shakespeare ( (see 23:56 ) has 17 upper-case letters in it. Coincidence? I think not. It satisfies the tria sunt omnia principle in which 3 of anything, whether it is names, items in lists, or allusions, signifies there is truth to be known through those 3 things. I do not think Alexander has noticed that the printer's mark on the title page of The Praise of Money (27:27) features a hand making the 1-5-3 signal which Alexander mentions frequently in the videos Where is Shakespeare Really Buried, especially in connection to the 1740 commemorative statue of "Shakespeare" in Westminster. The figure of "Shakespeare" is also making the same "Rosicrucian/Masonic" gesture.

Is there a third “infamy” in the last couplet? “Fame die never” extracting “de vere” from the last two words gives you “fame in de vere” which plays nicely enough as it is, but which also inverts to give “infame de vere.”

[@alexanderwaugh7036]

‘Tria sunt omnia!’ That’s brilliant! Thank you very much for this insight.

[@stevenhershkowitz2265]

"Fame die never" is an anagram for "Infame Ed Vere"

[@advancedfaces]

can you do a video on who Penelope Rich is, her life and how it ties into the men of the time?

[@GaltSpeaking]

Last two lines ('live euer you' to the end) contain "Edward DeVere, seventeenth earl" and "DeVere, your name must be hidden for all time." The two lines that begin "Thy name..." and end on the penultimate line "liue euer" contain Devere and "Infamous for male eros, male bedmate, male lover", etc. I don't think the Rich episode of bastardry is taboo enough to justify blasting his name off even the title pages of his plays (unless the cost of Eliza accepting his new issue was for him to be denied his plays). I think DeVere was absolutely fearless as a lover of men, thinking himself invincible, and like reckless Oscar Wilde he got checkmated by the laws of his age. His name was blasted away by some unwritten decree.

[@andykeating791]

Its like 1 of those pictures where you can see an old lady or a lamp. You can notice the hand. Or the ape. Weird picture. Whatever, it is.

[@andykeating791]

And if you look harder. There's a hand in the middle that gives it the silhouette. Its defiantly an ape.

[@GaltSpeaking]

Incidentally, DeVere's homosexuality is the reason the sonnets switch at 127 to female. The 'canopy' sonnet 125 means elizabeth is dead. 126 is left with open parentheses because there is a hidden message there. Combine the last line of 126 with the first of 127, and the anagram says that he must change the genders of his sonnets now that he is under a new king and not protected by Elizabeth.

I love your work... but not as much as the realisation that so many stakeholders with tenure, the unwashed learned with years invested in study and publishing their expert opinions, and the Stratfordian populace who rely on this fraud for their income, are all teetering on a balance that will devalue their investment in the very near future ! Your Dee-construction of one of the biggest literary mysteries is priceless !

[@davidlewis8814]

What I’m picking up from these (I think I’ve watched about half of them), aside from all great “who wrote it” lore, is that the beefs between rap artists today (East Coast v West Coast, Tupac, etc) is nothing new - the poets of the late 15s to early 16s were just as cutthroat, public, vicious, and occasionally lethal! Someone’s gotta do a movie in the style of A Knights Tale, but with poets doing sonnets set to sick beats….

[@crackle6875]

The musical Something Rotten might scratch that itch. I’ll also tack on a suggestion for the 2015 film Bill.
