Cryptographic Shakespeare

                                                       By the Mind I Shall Be Seen

























                                                              "By the mind I shall be seen."

       "A proscenium curtain is drawn to conceal a figure whose hand has written on a scroll the words 'Mente
Videbor' ('By the mind I shall be seen.') On the bays surrounding the emblem are words in Latin meaning 'One
lives in one's genius, other things pass away in death.' The laurel signifies that poetic genius is intended. In the
background appears Parnassus-- 'the bi-cliff hill' of the Muses"
       This emblem appears on the title page of Henry Peacham's Minerva Britanna or A Garden of Heroical
Devises , which was published in England in 1612. The book also contains an emblem explicitly dedicated to
Francis Bacon.
