Shakspere-Bacon's Cipher

Walt Whitman

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 — evolv'd from each — meaning, behind the ostent, A mystic cipher waits infolded.
