Alexander Waugh found a cipher that uses the quotation "Courte deare verse"
Art Neuendorfer noticed this some years before, can anyone remember when?

So far as I know Volker Multhopp of Essex, Maryland
https://www.mylife.com/volker-multhopp/volkermulthopp
was the first person to emphasis this thing back in the early days of HLAS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Wed, 12 May 1999, Terry Ross <***@bcpl.net> wrote HLAS:
<<What we have is a marginal note to a passage of praise
for *Spenser & Daniel* . Here's the main passage
(taken from *The Shakespeare Allusion Book* 1:23):
[Polimanteia 1595]
Let divine Bartasse, eternally praise-worthie for his weeks worke, say
the best thinges were made first: Let other countries (sweet Cambridge)
envie, (yet admire) my Virgil, thy petrarch, divine Spenser. And
unlesse I erre, (a thing easie in such simplicitie) deluded by dearly
beloved Delia, and fortunatelie fortunate Cleopatra; Oxford thou maist
extoll thy courte-deare-verse happie Daniell, whose sweete refined muse,
in contracted shape, were sufficient amongst men, to gaine pardon of
the sinne to Rosemond, pittie to distressed Cleopatra, and
everliving praise to her loving Delia:
This passage has baffled some other anti-Stratfordians. Some, including
Volker (who has perhaps never seen the words in context), imagine that
"Oxford thou maist extoll thy courte-deare-verse" is meant as praise of
Edward de Vere, but the passage clearly shows that Samuel Daniel (a man
of whom his alma mater, Oxford, could be justly proud, just as Cambridge
could brag on Spenser) and not Vere (who is not even mentioned) is
being praised here. [Slightly off-topic: note that Covell's use
of "everliving" contains no suggestion that Delia is dead.]
The marginal note accompanying this passage reads,
. All praiseworthy. Lucrecia Sweet Shakspeare.
. Eloquent Gaveston. Wanton Adonis. Watsons heyre.
. So well graced Anthonie deserveth immortall
. praise from the hand of that divine Lady who like
. Corrina contending with Pindarus was oft victorious.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
My own interest has been rather in ELS ciphers rather than "codes."

The Polimanteia was dedicated to the [E]arle of [LEYCES]ter's
step-son & protege: Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex (1566-1601)
.
Spenser & Daniel both wrote dedications to Mary *SIDNEY* wife of
[LEYCES]ter's best friend: Henry Herbert Earl of Pembroke (1534-1601)
Robert Dudley, 1st [E]arle of [LEYCES]ter,
(24 June 1532 - 4 Sept. 1588) in 1565 knighted
Sir Thomas Lucy (24 April 1532 - 7 July 1600)
[LEYCES]ter is said to have disuaded Lucy from
prosecuting Shakspere for his deer poaching.

He wist not whither (having staid his pastime till the morrow)
Comes Cadmus Nephew to this thicke: and entring in with sorrow
(Such was his cursed cruell fate) saw Phebe where she washt.
The Damsels at the sight of man quite out of countnance dasht,
(Bicause they EVERichone were BARE and naked to the quicke)
Did beate their handes against their breasts, and cast out such a shricke,
That all the wood did ring thereof: and clinging to their dame
Did all they could to hide both hir and eke them[S]elves fro shame.
But Ph[E]be was of personage so [C]omly and so tall,
That b[Y] the middle of hir neck[E] she overpeerd them al[L].
Such colour as appear[E]s in Heaven by Phebus b[R]oken rayes
Directly shining on the Cloudes, or such as is alwayes
The colour of the Morning Cloudes before the Sunne doth show,
Such sanguine colour in the face of Phoebe gan to glowe
There standing naked in his sight. Who though she had hir gard
Of Nymphes about hir: yet she turnde hir bodie from him ward.
