(Speak.) Nothing my lord [O] Nothing? [O] Nothing. [O] Nothing will come of nothing… [O>O] So young and so untender [yEEE—OOOng…untender=unable to offer money] So young my lord and true. [yEEE---OOOng…true=VER-US] Let it be so. Thy truth [=VERitas] then be thy dower… Even the names Lear (Earl) and Cordelia (delia/ideal-Cor/heart) wink anagramic Oxfordian meaning. The dialogue allegorizes the poor, still honorable, status of the House of Oxford in the early 1590s. Susan de Vere as Oxford’s Cordelia had no legal tender. Her only wealth, “truth”, was her dower. She would marry Philip Herbert, who in time became one of the wealthiest men in England, to whom (together with his brother William Herbert) the First Folio was dedicated. signed, new reader ‘Shakespeare’ uses the equivalency of O=zero=Nothing in King Lear’s dialogue between Lear and Cordelia. who was, like Oxford’s Susan, his youngest daughter:
