There are good reasons to assume
that the anonymous author of "Wits Bedlam" is the surviving Christopher Marlowe alias Shakespeare, alias John Davies...
Epigramm 221 aus Anonymous (alias Marlowe/Shakespeare): "Wits Bedlam" 1617 (attributed putatively to Jahn Davie of Hereford.)
-->-- Lucius Accius
-->-- Lucius Accius
"Wits Bedlam" published anonymously 1617 [within a year after the death of Shakspere - Stratford] is one of the least known most interesting books of epigrams, which today exists in a unique single copy.
Since Lambert Ennis' publication (1937), "Wits Bedlam" is falsely attributed to John Davies of Hereford. Astonishingly this view has been incorporated into the encyclopedias and was never contested.
There are good reasons, however to assume that the author of "Wits Bedlam" is the surviving Christopher Marlowe alias Shakespeare, alias John Davies and others, as absurd as it may sound to those ignorants who are not familiar with the hugeness of the Shakespeare authorship inconsistencies... ... .

One argument is the metaphoric Epigram 221 (s.above): The historical tragic poet Accius stands for "telling the truth" (a soothsayer) by way of Tarquin (the poetic personification of Marlowe), the main actor in Shakespeare's Lucrece (1594), who had raped Lucrece (..metaphorically he committed a crime [treason] against the Queen ).
Tarquin's alias Marlowe's life was saved, but he had to split or give up his identity ("forthwith cut in two"), a situation which is compared with "cutting a whet-stone with a razor", an unimaginable matter,
(usually it's the other way round, a whetstone sharpens the razor, here there razor cuts the whetstone ), an incredible "inverse" truth! Nobody will ever believe, that this is possible -
It s precisely the metapher for the "The Shakespeare Authorship Enigma".- Since nobody will ever believe this truth, (that Marlowe's identity was cut) the author concludes that it's perhaps better to leave sometimes some truth untold .-
Some who want to convey this truth to the world, will inevitably be "hold for liars" (nowadays "conspiracy theorists")
