Thy pumps as white as was the milk,

G[R]eensleeues was my h[E]art of gold,

Greensle[E]ues was my delight:
G[R]eensleeues was my h[E]art of gold,

1) Coincidence probability of
E.VERE, E.VEER, E.UERE, or E.UEER
in the short title: ~ 1 in 12+
2) Coincidence probability of
E.VERE, E.VEER, E.UERE, or E.UEER
in the somewhat longer refrain: ~ 1 in 8+
1) Coincidence probability of
a diagonal or vertical TEST & VOW or UOW
relatively near to any
E,VERE, E,VEER, E,UERE, or E,UEER: ~ 1 in 10+
While none of these numbers is particularly impressive
in and of itself taken together they amount
to coincidence probability of ~ 1 in 1,000.
My probability calculations do not take into account:
1) the (anti-)parallel SO next to TEST
2) the fact that the title E.UEER and the refrain E.UERE
are both in the upside down position
3) the independent occurrence of a DE.VERE
near its own (anti-)parallel SO-TEST
Also there are various interesting "after thoughts"
that can't be quantified at all like:
Shakespeare is
1) one of 13 of Mere's "best for tragedy" and
2) one of 17 of Mere's "best for comedy"
matching the ELS skips for, or E.UEER & E.UERE respectively.

David Roper wrote (http://tinyurl.com/d4mopra) :
<<At Westminster Abbey, a very costly tomb was erected in 1609 by the
grieving widow of the soldier-knight, Sir Francis Vere. This splendid
marble monument, which is still mentioned in Abbey literature, later
became the resting place for several other members of the Vere family.
Its design having been sculptured from a similar one existing at the
court of Nassau, in the Dutch town of Breda. And it is this Flemish
connection that brings us to the next part of the epitaph in a quite
extraordinary way.‘Sieh All’, the monument proclaims. The meaning
sounds clear, but the verb used is not an English word. It is from
the German tongue, and would have been in common use during the 16th
century, particularly in places where Low German was spoken. See! All,
That He Has Written, we are told. Have the Shakespeare papers really
lain undiscovered in Westminster Abbey since the early part of the
17th century? Was de Vere secretly interred in the family tomb at the
same time. The Abbey records are understandably silent on this matter,
but Percival Golding, a first cousin of de Vere, wrote a history
of the family in which he stated that “Edward de Vere ... lieth
buried at Westminster”, (The Armes, Honours, Matches and
Issues of the Ancient and Illustrious family of Veer).>>
----------------------------------------------------------------
<<"PEREDur [i.e., Welsh *PERCIVAL*] & *his UNCLE* discoursed together,
and he beheld two youths enter the hall and proceed up to the chamber,
bearing a *SPEAR* of mighty size, with three streams of blood flowing
from the point to the ground. When all the company saw this, they
began wailing and lamenting. But for all that the man did not break
off his discourse with PEREDur. As he did not tell PEREDur the meaning
of what he saw, he forbore to ask him concerning it. When the clamor
had a little subsided, behold, two maidens entered, with a large
salver (dyscyl) between them, in which was a man's HEAD.">>
------------------------------------------------------------------
<<Sir Francis Vere (1560-1609) & his brother *HORACE* (1565-1635)
are buried in the chapel of St John the Ev[ANGEL]ist in the Abbey.
Francis has a large monument of alabaster and black marble showing
him lying on a carved rush mattress in civilian dress under a slab
on which is laid out his suit of armour. The slab is supported on
the shoulders of four life-sized knights in armour who kneel at
each corner. The monument seems to have been inspired by that of
*Count ENGELbert* II of Nassau-Dillenburg in the church at Breda.>>

Shelton's Don Quixote, Part 1 The Third Book
THE WISE Cid *Hamet BEN-ENGEL{I}* recounteth that,
as soon as Don Quixote had taken leave of the goatherds.....
...omitting that Cid *Mahamet BEnENGEL{I}* was a very exact
historiographer, and most curious in all things, as may be
gathered very well, seeing that those which are related being
so minute and trivial, he would not overslip them in *silence*.
CID *HAMET BEN-ENGEL{I}*, an Arabic and Manchegan author,
recounts, in this most grave, lofty, divine, *SWEET*
conceited history, that, after these discourses passed
between Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza...
Here Cardenio finished his large discourse and unfortunate and
amorous history; and just about the time that the curate was
be-thinking himself of some comfortable reasons to answer and
persuade him, he was suspended by a voice arrived to his hearing,
which with pitiful accents said what shall be recounted in the
Fourth Part of this narration; for in this very point the wise
and most absolute historiographer, Cid *Hamet BEN-ENGEL{I}*,
finished the Third Book of this history.

_ROSALYNDE OR, EUPHUES' GOLDEN LEGACY_ BY THOMAS LODGE
................................................
In this humor was Saladyne, making his brother Rosader his foot-boy,
for the space of two or three years, keeping him in such servile
subjection, as if he had been the son of any country vassal. The
young gentleman BORE all with patience, till on a day, walking in
the garden by himself, he began to consider how he was th[E] son of
John of Bo[R]deaux, a knight r[E]nowned for many [V]ictories, and
a g[E]ntleman famose[D] for his virtues; [H]ow, contrary to the
testament of his father, he was not only kept from his land and
entreated as a servant, but smothered in such secret slavery,
as he might not attain to any honorable actions.

‘The History of Don Quixote of the Mancha, written
by Cid *HAMETE BEnENGELi*, an Arabical historiographer.’
.......................................................
Shelton's Don Quixote, Part 1 The Second Book I
<<Being one day walking in the exchange of Toledo, a certain boy by
chance would have sold *DIVERS* old quires and scrolls of books to a
squire that walked up and down in that place, and I, being addicted to
read such scrolls, though I found them torn in the streets, borne away
by this my natural inclination, took one of the quires in my hand, and
perceived it to be written in Arabical characters, and seeing that,
although I knew the letters, yet could I not read the substance, I
looked about to view whether I could perceive any Moor turned Spaniard
thereabouts, that could read them; nor was it very difficult to find
there such an interpreter; for, if I had searched one of another
better and more ancient language, that place would easily afford him.
In fine, my good fortune presented one to me; to whom telling my
desire, and setting the book in his hand, he opened it, and, having
read a little therein, began to laugh. I demanded of him why he
laughed; and he answered, at that marginal note which the book had. I
bade him to expound it to me, and with that took him a little aside;
and he, continuing still his laughter, said: ‘There is written there,
on this margin, these words: “This Dulcinea of Toboso, so many times
spoken of in this history, had the best hand for powdering of porks
of any woman in all the Mancha.”’ When I heard it make mention of
Dulcinea of Toboso, I rested amazed and suspended, and imagined
forthwith that those quires contained the history of Don Quixote.
With this conceit I hastened him to read the beginning, which he
did, and, translating the Arabical into Spanish in a trice, he
said that it begun thus: ‘The History of Don Quixote of the Mancha,
written by Cid Hamete *BEnENGELi*, an Arabical historiographer.’>>

1) Coincidence probability of
E.VERE, E.VEER, E.UERE, or E.UEER
in the short title: ~ 1 in 12+
2) Coincidence probability of
E.VERE, E.VEER, E.UERE, or E.UEER
in the somewhat longer refrain: ~ 1 in 8+
1) Coincidence probability of
a diagonal or vertical TEST & VOW or UOW
relatively near to any
E,VERE, E,VEER, E,UERE, or E,UEER: ~ 1 in 10+
While none of these numbers is particularly impressive
in and of itself taken together they amount
to coincidence probability of ~ 1 in 1,000.
My probability calculations do not take into account:
1) the (anti-)parallel SO next to TEST
2) the fact that the title E.UEER and the refrain E.UERE
are both in the upside down position
3) the independent occurrence of a DE.VERE
near its own (anti-)parallel SO-TEST
Also there are various interesting "after thoughts"
that can't be quantified at all like:
Shakespeare is
1) one of 13 of Mere's "best for tragedy" and
2) one of 17 of Mere's "best for comedy"
matching the ELS skips for, or E.UEER & E.UERE respectively.

David Roper wrote (http://tinyurl.com/d4mopra) :
<<At Westminster Abbey, a very costly tomb was erected in 1609 by the
grieving widow of the soldier-knight, Sir Francis Vere. This splendid
marble monument, which is still mentioned in Abbey literature, later
became the resting place for several other members of the Vere family.
Its design having been sculptured from a similar one existing at the
court of Nassau, in the Dutch town of Breda. And it is this Flemish
connection that brings us to the next part of the epitaph in a quite
extraordinary way.‘Sieh All’, the monument proclaims. The meaning
sounds clear, but the verb used is not an English word. It is from
the German tongue, and would have been in common use during the 16th
century, particularly in places where Low German was spoken. See! All,
That He Has Written, we are told. Have the Shakespeare papers really
lain undiscovered in Westminster Abbey since the early part of the
17th century? Was de Vere secretly interred in the family tomb at the
same time. The Abbey records are understandably silent on this matter,
but Percival Golding, a first cousin of de Vere, wrote a history
of the family in which he stated that “Edward de Vere ... lieth
buried at Westminster”, (The Armes, Honours, Matches and
Issues of the Ancient and Illustrious family of Veer).>>
----------------------------------------------------------------
<<"PEREDur [i.e., Welsh *PERCIVAL*] & *his UNCLE* discoursed together,
and he beheld two youths enter the hall and proceed up to the chamber,
bearing a *SPEAR* of mighty size, with three streams of blood flowing
from the point to the ground. When all the company saw this, they
began wailing and lamenting. But for all that the man did not break
off his discourse with PEREDur. As he did not tell PEREDur the meaning
of what he saw, he forbore to ask him concerning it. When the clamor
had a little subsided, behold, two maidens entered, with a large
salver (dyscyl) between them, in which was a man's HEAD.">>
------------------------------------------------------------------
<<Sir Francis Vere (1560-1609) & his brother *HORACE* (1565-1635)
are buried in the chapel of St John the Ev[ANGEL]ist in the Abbey.
Francis has a large monument of alabaster and black marble showing
him lying on a carved rush mattress in civilian dress under a slab
on which is laid out his suit of armour. The slab is supported on
the shoulders of four life-sized knights in armour who kneel at
each corner. The monument seems to have been inspired by that of
*Count ENGELbert* II of Nassau-Dillenburg in the church at Breda.>>

Shelton's Don Quixote, Part 1 The Third Book
THE WISE Cid *Hamet BEN-ENGEL{I}* recounteth that,
as soon as Don Quixote had taken leave of the goatherds.....
...omitting that Cid *Mahamet BEnENGEL{I}* was a very exact
historiographer, and most curious in all things, as may be
gathered very well, seeing that those which are related being
so minute and trivial, he would not overslip them in *silence*.
CID *HAMET BEN-ENGEL{I}*, an Arabic and Manchegan author,
recounts, in this most grave, lofty, divine, *SWEET*
conceited history, that, after these discourses passed
between Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza...
Here Cardenio finished his large discourse and unfortunate and
amorous history; and just about the time that the curate was
be-thinking himself of some comfortable reasons to answer and
persuade him, he was suspended by a voice arrived to his hearing,
which with pitiful accents said what shall be recounted in the
Fourth Part of this narration; for in this very point the wise
and most absolute historiographer, Cid *Hamet BEN-ENGEL{I}*,
finished the Third Book of this history.

_ROSALYNDE OR, EUPHUES' GOLDEN LEGACY_ BY THOMAS LODGE
................................................
In this humor was Saladyne, making his brother Rosader his foot-boy,
for the space of two or three years, keeping him in such servile
subjection, as if he had been the son of any country vassal. The
young gentleman BORE all with patience, till on a day, walking in
the garden by himself, he began to consider how he was th[E] son of
John of Bo[R]deaux, a knight r[E]nowned for many [V]ictories, and
a g[E]ntleman famose[D] for his virtues; [H]ow, contrary to the
testament of his father, he was not only kept from his land and
entreated as a servant, but smothered in such secret slavery,
as he might not attain to any honorable actions.

____ *ENGELBErt* : *English Born*
____ *BEnENGELi* : *Son of England*
‘The History of Don Quixote of the Mancha, written
by Cid *HAMETE BEnENGELi*, an Arabical historiographer.’
.......................................................
Shelton's Don Quixote, Part 1 The Second Book I
<<Being one day walking in the exchange of Toledo, a certain boy by
chance would have sold *DIVERS* old quires and scrolls of books to a
squire that walked up and down in that place, and I, being addicted to
read such scrolls, though I found them torn in the streets, borne away
by this my natural inclination, took one of the quires in my hand, and
perceived it to be written in Arabical characters, and seeing that,
although I knew the letters, yet could I not read the substance, I
looked about to view whether I could perceive any Moor turned Spaniard
thereabouts, that could read them; nor was it very difficult to find
there such an interpreter; for, if I had searched one of another
better and more ancient language, that place would easily afford him.
In fine, my good fortune presented one to me; to whom telling my
desire, and setting the book in his hand, he opened it, and, having
read a little therein, began to laugh. I demanded of him why he
laughed; and he answered, at that marginal note which the book had. I
bade him to expound it to me, and with that took him a little aside;
and he, continuing still his laughter, said: ‘There is written there,
on this margin, these words: “This Dulcinea of Toboso, so many times
spoken of in this history, had the best hand for powdering of porks
of any woman in all the Mancha.”’ When I heard it make mention of
Dulcinea of Toboso, I rested amazed and suspended, and imagined
forthwith that those quires contained the history of Don Quixote.
With this conceit I hastened him to read the beginning, which he
did, and, translating the Arabical into Spanish in a trice, he
said that it begun thus: ‘The History of Don Quixote of the Mancha,
written by Cid Hamete *BEnENGELi*, an Arabical historiographer.’>>
