Nope, that won't do, unless Baars actually wrote Bacon's work. A clue
is that the work was supposedly published in 1592. The only one of
Bacon's works I've been able to find with that date is A Conference of
Pleasure (two speeches from a 'device' written for the Queen 's
birthday). Since it's not on-line, I can't check it for the passage.
Perhaps Baars has the complete cite. Or perhaps we don't really need
to know this.
