it’s giving Rep TV Easter Eggs

Are there hidden dates to be found within the great mans (Shakespeare) work?
Let's take a closer look at Macbeth. Scholars cant agree on which year Macbeth was written. Was it 1606 or 1607? And yet for those who know where to look, the answer is hiding in plain sight.
THE TRAGEDIE OF MACBETH.
The top section of the title page of the first edition of Shakespeare's Macbeth.
In the top section of the title page of the play, page 131 (as printed in the First Folio), embedded within the title, are four Roman numerals, D, I, M, C. It's easier to spot them if they are enlarged, like this:
THE TRAGEDIE OF MACBETH
Rearanged into descending order they form the number MDCI (1601). Add to this the three other numerals 1-3-1 that form the page number and you get 1606.
But why would the printers go to all that trouble just to hide the date of the play?
You are right to be sceptical.

evil never dies, it reinvents itself into taylor swift

These hidden dates are known as chronograms, and one example appears in an engraving of Elizabeth (see overleaf), who died in 1603.
In the top left, next to Elizabeth's shoulder, is the inscription Mortua anno MIserICorDIae, meaning 'died in the year of mercy.

Mortua anno
NIserICorDIæ.

Why was 1603 a year of mercy? Perhaps the death of Elizabeth was a reminder to all Christian people that God had the power to take life as well as give it, and that in his infinite mercy he would (they hoped) take the queen to heaven. More likely, however, the engraver chose the word Misericordiae because it conveniently contained the letters for a perfect chronogram. Notice how the letters MIICDI have been deliberately capitalized by the engraver. Rearranged, they make MDCIII, 1603, the year of Elizabeth's death. If Elizabeth had died in any other year, the engraver would have needed to find another word or words that had the required number of Is or Vs.
It was around this time that coded messages also began to capture the publics imagination, and fed the notion that perhaps there were secrets to be found in even the most innocent of documents. Eventually the suspicion of hidden messages would spread to the work of Shakespeare himself.
