What encryption does exist in Shakespeare? The very character and name of Prospero in The Tempest sysmbolizes a patriarch of civilization. Shakespeare never says “This is me” or “This is true” or “This is false”—the vast array characters flow forth very evenly from his pen and march across the page; so that between author and audience there is certainly a detachment. All Shakespearean characters are characters of life, no apparent favorites, no stated theory by Shakespeare of what the author himself believes to be truth—his role is to present and then be invisible. But is there no direct cipher, no special message past the vast panoply of dramatics, of “all the world’s a stage”?
Prospero….For thou must now know farther.
Miranda. You have often
Begun to tell me what I am, but stopt
And left me to a bootless Inquisition,
Concluding, stay: not yet. -The Tempest, I, ii, ll. 119-123.
That set of letters (FBACON) is called an acronym; an acronym could be considered a cipher.

Decode Lesson, boys and girls!
at Wells Gallup: Biliteral Code of Sir Francis Bacon, 1900, pp. 80, 83
one finds the following two examples from Spenser's Complaints--the above is her photostat of Spenser's 1591 Dedication and the below is her decode of the same. Let us take two minutes now to peruse the pair of capital L of "Ladie, the La." As one may see, the L in both cases is extremely alike; but when one proceeds to her decode one sees that Wells Gallup decodes the first L as "b" typeface and the second L as "a" typeface!
Why Wells Gallup presents this as accurate, scientific, demonstrable evidence of decoding is a bit hard to fathom, n'est-ce pas?? -R, Ashland, OR
