Rosicrucian = Rosencrantz
Freemason = Guildenstern
Huh? There is no indication whateVER in the play thatFreemason = Guildenstern
Rosencrantz is a Rosicrucian, or that Guildenstern is a Freemason.

Francis Bacon, John Dee & maybe William Strange)

.
[In the first Quarto ROSINCROSS is Rossen(CRAFT)!]

.
<<Between 1607 and 1616, two anonymous manifestos were published, first in
Germany and later throughout Europe. These were the Fama Fraternitatis RC
(The Fame of the Brotherhood of RC) and the Confessio Fraternitatis (The
Confession of the Brotherhood of RC). The Fama Fraternitatis presented the
legend of a German doctor and mystic philosopher referred to as "Frater
C.R.C." The influence of these documents, presenting a "most laudable Order"
of mystic-philosopher-doctors and promoting a "Universal Reformation of
Mankind", gave rise to an enthusiasm called by its historian Dame Frances
Yates the "Rosicrucian Enlightenment". Rosicrucianism was associated with
Protestantism, and the manifestos opposed Roman Catholicism and its
preference for dogma over empiricism. They traced their philosophy and
science to the Moors, asserting that it had been kept secret for 120 years
until the intellectual climate might receive it. The idea of such an order,
exemplified by the network of astronomers, professors, mathematicians,
and natural philosophers in 16th-century Europe and promoted by men such
as Johannes Kepler, Georg Joachim Rheticus, John Dee and Tycho Brahe,
gave rise to the Invisible College. This was a precursor
to the Royal Society which was founded in 1660.>>

------------------------------------------------------------
neither Rosencrantz nor Guildenstern is an especially sympathetic
character (both are stooges of Claudius), and both men come to a bad
end -- hardly what one would expect of the way a Masonic/Rosicrucian
conspiracy would represent members of either order.

WHEN our friends began to think of going home, they looked about them
for their clergyman; but he had vanished, and was nowhere to be found.

'It is not polite in the man, who otherwise displayed
good breeding,' said Madam Melina, 'to desert a company
that welcomed him so kindly, without taking leave.'
'I have all the time been thinking,' said Laertes,
'where I can have seen this singular man before.
I fully intended to ask him about it at parting.'
'I too had the same feeling,' said Wilhelm, 'and certainly
I should not have let him go, till he had told us something
more about his circumstances. I am much mistaken
if I have not ere now spoken with him somewhere.'
'And you may in truth,' said Philina, 'be mistaken there.
This person seems to have the air of an acquaintance,
because he looks like a man, and not like *JACK or KIT* '
'What is this?' said Laertes. 'Do not we two look like men?'
'I know what I am saying,? cried Philina;
'and if you cannot understand me, nEVER mind. In the end
my words will be found to require no commentary.'

*DUN* : 1. Annoy constantly.
2. Persistently ask for overdue payment;
"The grocer dunned his customers every day by telephone".
3. Cure by salting; "dun codfish".
..............................................
*DUN* : One who importunes for payment of a bill (AS dunan
: to din or clamour). The tradition is that it refers
to Joe Dun, a famous bailiff of Lincoln in the reign of
Henry VII. The British Apollo says he was so active and
dexterous in collecting bad debts that when anyone became
"slow to pay" the neighbours used to say to the creditors,
"Dun him" (send Dun after him).
"An Universitie dunne ... is an inferior creditor of some
ten shillings or downewards, contracted for horse-hire,
or perchance drinke, too weake to be put in suite."
- Bishop Earle: Microcosmographia (1601-1695).

Squire DUN:
The hangman between Richard Brandin & Jack Ketch.
"And presently a halter got,
Made of the best strong hempen teer;
And, ere a cat could lick his ear,
Had tied him up with as much art,
As Dun himself could do for's heart."

when I shall show you some of his more inconsiderable braining

with the Pacific, you would not elevate one hair of your eye-brow.
For unless you own the whale, you are but a provincial and
sentimentalist in *TRUTH*. But clear *TRUTH* is a thing for
salamander giants only to encounter; how small the chances
for the provincials then? What befell the weakling youth
lifting the dread goddess's *VEIL* at Lais?
