The subject is interesting "Benign Shakespeare" . . . could this have something to do with a sonnet?

Sonnet - a fixed verse form of Italian origin consisting of fourteen lines that are typically five-foot iambics rhyming according to a prescribed scheme.

There are 14 groups of numbers and there are 5 numbers in each grouping.

Just a thought.

Benign Shakespeare

The only work of Shakespeare with "benign" in it comes from the Prologue of Act II in Pericles.

On the other hand, googling benign shakespeare leads to a lot of commentaries about the playwrite, or his works, done by critiques using the word "benign" as a descriptor.

What about using the Caesar cipher with benign as the key? Shakespeare wrote Julius Caesar.

Caesar Cipher is probably the simplest way of enciphering a message. As you may presume considering its name, it was already used by Gaius Julius Caesar, the Roman emperor. Caesar cipher is a monoalphabetic substitution. The assignment to the characters is not arbitrary, it is based on a cyclic rotation of k places in the alphabet. This number (k) is the key the message is enciphered with. Each character of the uncoded text is replaced by the character that stands k positions later in the alphabet:
bi = ai + k mod 26 (for i from 1 bis 26)
