Line by Line Analysis: Was Shakespeare Actually Edward de Vere?

I’ve borrowed some lines for this video:

“I am not as I seem to be, / For when I smile I am not glad;” - Oxford poem, signed E. O. The Paradise of Dainty Devices, 1576

“As it should pierce a hundred thousand hearts.” - Oberon, a Midsummer Night’s Dream

“She hath the hand and knife, / That may both save and end my life.” - XII. Love and Antagonism. Edward de Vere.

“The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb.” - Suffolk, King Henry VI.
