Synopsis

Excerpt from The New Hamlet, Intermixed and Interwoven With a Revised Version of Romeo and Juliet: The Combination Being Modernized, Re-Written and Wrought Out on New-Discovered Lines, as Indicated Under the Light of the Higher Criticism

In deference to truth, it should be stated, at the outset, that Bacon did not write this play. All the signs indicate this fact. There is no need of going into detail. Bacon is not located as far back as - de-tail.

However, let not the composition be despised if it should be shown that it is not the product of a sugar-cured author. It may turn out that it had an origin higher even than that.

For, see: That which makes bacon is greater than the bacon it makes, and hence is greater than anything that the bacon it has made can make. This play was made by farmers. Farmers make bacon; and hence, even if their product had produced the play, by the stern laws of logic it could not have been as good as it is now.
