Shakespeare wants to express to people before that anyone who appreciates his works are not the people who will ruin his master pieces

This answer is superficially correct. The actual epitaph is a cryptogram (coded message). Cryptograms were very popular in Shakespear's era just like cross word puzzles today. Lost in transalation is that the actual epitaph consists of seemingly random upper and lower case letters and odd spellings, etc. They are not random letters, they are a code. Cryptogrphers have recognized this for centuries, but the code was only cracked during WW II by the same team that cracked the German Ultra code. The code in the meassage actually means: "In Elsinore Castle lies my dearest possession". For further information stay tuned. Peter Klika, Kapaau, Hawaii (far from Waikiki). Aloha
