(396) The multiple pen names of the true Shakespeare: (H.W. Henry Willobie] Part 5

The Early "literary" disclosure of 

Marlowe's Destiny

Announcement in the Epistle of a dislosure of the author itselfe, his name and his owne "desire/sentiment"[love] starting at cantus 44 Beginning of Cantus 44 ( in prose)

Those who are not aware of the Marlowe / alias Shakespeare thesis will not be able to  decode the meaning of the Poem of  "WILLOBIE HIS A`VISA".  The epsistle tells the reader  that from cantus forty foure [44] to the end he will be informed about the author, his name and own desires.-,[Faksimile 2] Cantus XLIIII[44], written suspiciously in prose, reveals the covert fact [Faksimile 3] about the author that he came suddenly into contact (being sodenly infected with the contagion) with a fantastical fit: i.e. his name was fitted  "fantastically" with another one.[Shake-speare].. At the first sight of "A" (of his beeing a "NON" existence, i.e. his muse beeing  no more visible  A'VISA) he fell into deep sorrow  (he pyned a while in secret griefe),  and on the long run he was not able any longer a) to endure his situation (the burning heate of so servent a humour) b) to divulge ("bewray") the secresy of his disease unto W.S.

This passage - you have to realize it!- clearly  represents an early (1594) contemporary allegoric depiction of Marlowe's fall into anonymity, into the abyss ("A"), into the loss of identity, and the transfer to another person W.S.

Shakespeare-Expert Charles Hughes was convinced in 1904 that W.S. (Harry) in »Willobie His Avisa« must have been William Shakespeare: »The cumulative evidence makes it almost certain that the W.S. of the poem stands for William Shakespeare.«

Also the subsequent cantus (45) leaves no doubt, that the destiny of the life-threatened author forced him, to give up his identity   »one, which beeing parted then in twaine«).
