Auszug: ... one sticks to the best, and the other to the worst. In all things there is somewhat that is good, and especially in a book, which commonly is made with study. Some are of so aukward a mind, that amongst a thousand perfections, they'll hit upon the onely fault that is to be found, and speak of nothing else, as if they were onely cut out for common sewers of the filth of the will and wit of others: and for keeping a Register of all the faults which they fee. That is rather the punilhment of their bad discerning, than the exercise of their subtiky. They spend their life ill, because they onely feed on naughty things. Happier are they, who amongst a thousand.faults at first discover a perfection that happened to be there by chance. MAXIME CXLI. Not to listen to ones self. It's worth little to be satisfied with ones self, if one content not others. Commonly self-esteem is punished by universal contempt. He that pays himself, remains a debtor to all others. It is misbecoming for one to speak, that he may hear himself. If it be folly to speak to ones self, it is doubly so to listen to himself before others. It is a fault in great men to speak with an imperious tone: and that which stuns those who hear them; at every word they fay, their ears importunately beg applause or flattery. The presumptuous speak also by echo: and since the conversation moves upon the stilts of Pride, every word comes guarded with this impertinent exclamation: Rarely well said! Ah that's a sweet faying. MAXIME CXLII. Never to espouse a bad party in spight to an Adversary yoho bath taken the letter. He that does it, is half overcome, and at length will be constrained wholly to yield. That is never a good way to be...

Book excerpt: I have found occasion in several instances, to differ with some of the well known Shakespearean scholars; but it must always be remembered that I speak from the viewpoint of the actor, for whom, and for whom alone the plays were written. I have not entered the literary dissecting room, nor invaded the realm of psychology. The line of demarcation between humor and imbecility, folly and insanity, I leave to the professional alienist. I have taken the characters as they appear in the plays and as I conceive the author intended them, with due reference to their relation to the other characters. - Preface.

Download or read book The Italian Encounter with Tudor England written by Michael Wyatt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The small but influential community of Italians that took shape in England in the fifteenth century initially consisted of ecclesiastics, humanists, merchants, bankers and artists. However, in the wake of the English Reformation, Italian Protestants joined other continental religious refugees in finding Tudor England to be a hospitable and productive haven, and they brought with them a cultural perspective informed by the ascendency among European elites of their vernacular language. This study maintains that questions of language are at the centre of the circulation of ideas in the early modern period. Wyatt first examines the agency of this shifting community of immigrant Italians in the transmission of Italy's cultural patrimony and its impact on the nascent English nation; Part Two turns to the exemplary career of John Florio, the Italo-Englishman who worked as a language teacher, lexicographer and translator in Elizabethan and Jacobean England.
