'Letter' also meant phoneme until the end of the 19th
century. The Roman letters were conceived as phonemes.
And as for the connection between 'valiant' and 'William'
I quote from the reply I just wrote for Peter:

* Valiant / William is as good a rhyme as the examples
* given above, and the alliteration is even of a genetic sort,
* for William German Wilhelm is composed of will and helmet,
* will akin to German wollen and Latin velle 'wish', volo 'I wish',
* in a further meaning 'I decide, order', and valiant coming
* from valere 'to be strong', in a further meaning 'to have
* influence, power, importance'
*
*  volo 'I wish', also 'I decide, order'
*
*  valeo 'I am strong', also 'I have influence, power, importance'

Your reply is typical for a strutting Strat : reproaches and
ad hominems instead of answers to questions. You can't
make all those obscure remarks unveil their meaning,
you worship a demi-god veiled in fog and cloaked in clouds,
preferring him to an actual and apparently loveworthy human
being of great merit, as the real William Shakespeare
emerging from the play Romeo and Juliet in my reading
that is now one week old, since I found the telling pun

  O, where is Romeo?        O, Vere is Romeo!

last Friday, followed yesterday by

  What, Juliet!      Watch, Juliet!

and the alliteration

  valiant Paris     valiant William

Romeo -- Edward de Vere, playwright
Juliet -- audience personified, Muse
Paris -- William Shakespeare of the Globe
