Book excerpt: Wit and Mirth: or Pills to Purge Melancholy, Vol. 5 of 6by Thomas D''UrfeyBy Sir John Burtonhead.[Listen] LL Christians and Lay-Elders too,For Shame amend your Lives;I''ll tell you of a Dog-trick now,Which much concerns you Wives:An Elder''s Maid near Temple-Bar,(Ah! what a Quean was she?)Did take an ugly Mastiff Cur,Where Christians use to be.Help House of Commons, House of Peers,Oh now or never help!Th'' Assembly hath not sat Four Years,Yet hath brought forth a Whelp.One Evening late she stept aside,Pretending to fetch Eggs;And there she made her self a Bride,To one that had four Legs:Her Master heard a Rumblement,And wonder she did tarry;Not dreaming (without his consent)His Dog would ever Marry.Help House of Commons, &c.He went to peep, but was afraid,And hastily did run,To fetch a Staff to help his Maid,Not knowing what was done:He took his Ruling Elders Cane,And cry''d out help, help, here;For Swash our Mastiff, and poor Jane,Are now fight Dog, fight Bear.Help House of Commons, &c.But when he came he was full sorry,For he perceiv''d their Strife;That according to the Directory,They Two were Dog and Wife:Ah! (then said he) thou cruel Quean,Why hast thou me beguil''d?I wonder Swash was grown so lean,Poor Dog he''s almost spoil''d.Help House of Commons, &c.I thought thou hadst no Carnal Sense,But what''s in our Lasses:And could have quench''d thy Cupiscence,According to the Classes:But all the Parish see it plain,Since thou art in this pickle;Thou art an Independent Quean,And lov''st a Conventicle.Help House of Commons, &c.Alas now each Malignant Rogue,Will all the World perswade;That she that''s Spouse unto a Dog,May be an Elder''s Maid:They''ll jeer us if abroad we stir,Good Master Elder stay;Sir, of what Classis is your Cur?And then what can we say?Help House of Commons, &c.They''ll many graceless Ballads sing,Of a Presbyterian;That a Lay Elder is a thingMade up half Dog, half Man:Out, out, said he, (and smote her down)Was Mankind grown so scant?There''s scarce another Dog in Town,Had took the Covenant.Help House of Commons, &c.Then Swash began to look full grim,And Jane did thus reply;Sir, you thought nought too good for him,You fed your Dog too high:''Tis true he took me in the lurch,And leap''d into my Arms;But (as I hope to come at Church)I did your Dog no harm.Help House of Commons, &c.Then she was brought to Newgate Gaol,And there was Naked stripp''d;They whipp''d her till the Cords did fail,As Dogs us''d to be whipp''d:Poor City Maids shed many a Tear,When she was lash''d and bang''d;And had she been a Cavalier,Surely she had been hang''d.Help House of Commons, &c.Hers was but Fornication found,For which she felt the Lash:But his was Bugg''ry presum''d,Therefore they hanged Swash:What will become of Bishops then,Or Independency?For now we find both Dogs and Men,Stand up for Presbytry.Help House of Commons, &c.She might have took a Sow-gelder,With Synod-men good store,But she would have a Lay-Elder,With Two Legs and Two more:Go tell the Assembly of Divines,Tell Adoniram blue;Tell Burgess, Marshall, Case and Vines,Tell Now-and-Anon too....We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Download or read book Misogynous Economies written by Laura C. Mandell and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth century saw the birth of the concept of literature as business: literature critiqued and promoted capitalism, and books themselves became highly marketable canonical objects. During this period, misogynous representations of women often served to advance capitalist desires and to redirect feelings of antagonism toward the emerging capitalist order. Misogynous Economies proposes that oppression of women may not have been the primary goal of these misogynistic depictions. Using psychoanalytic concepts developed by Julia Kristeva, Mandell argues that passionate feelings about the alienating socioeconomic changes brought on by capitalism were displaced onto representations that inspired hatred of women and disgust with the female body. Such displacements also played a role in canon formation. The accepted literary canon resulted not simply from choices made by eighteenth-century critics but also, as Mandell argues, from editorial and production practices designed to stimulate readers' desires to identify with male poets. Mandell considers a range of authors, from Dryden and Pope to Anna Letitia Barbauld, throughout the eighteenth century. She also reconsiders Augustan satire, offering a radically new view that its misogyny is an attempt to resist the commodification of literature. Mandell shows how misogyny was put to use in public discourse by a culture confronting modernization and resisting alienation.

Download or read book The Plays and Poems of Nicholas Rowe Volume I written by Stephen Bernard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Rowe was the first Poet Laureate of the Georgian era. A fascinating and important yet largely overlooked figure in eighteenth-century literature, he is the ‘lost Augustan’. His plays are important both for the way they address the political and social concerns of the day and for reflecting a period in which the theatre was in crisis. This edition sets out to demonstrate Rowe’s mastery of the early eighteenth century theatre, especially his providing significant roles for women, and examines the political and historical stances of his plays. It also highlights his work as a translator, which was both innovative and deeply in tune with current practices as exemplified by John Dryden and Alexander Pope. This is the first scholarly edition of all Rowe’s plays and poems and is accompanied by 15 musical scores and 31 black and white illustrations. In this first volume, a general introduction by Stephen Bernard and Michael Caines introduces Rowe's works and the five volumes that comprise this set. It then presents the early plays, The Ambitious Step-Mother, Tamerlane, and The Fair Penitent along with a newly written explanatory introduction by Rebecca Bullard and John McTague which precedes the full edited text. Appendices covering dedications performance history, the related music and textual apparatus are also included. A consolidated bibliography is included with the final volume for ease of reference.

This is the first scholarly edition of all Rowe’s plays and poems and is accompanied by 15 musical scores and 31 black and white illustrations. The first three volumes arrange his plays chronologically with the first volume presenting the early plays, The Ambitious Step-Mother, Tamerlane, and The Fair Penitent; the second volume the middle plays, The Biter, Ulysses, and The Royal Convert; and the third volume his late period plays, The Tragedy of Jane Shore and The Tragedy of the Lady Jane Grey. The subsequent volumes cover his translation of Lucan’s Pharsalia, described by Samuel Johnson as one of the greatest productions in English poetry, and his own original poetry — which was often composed for specific occasions. Each volume contains a newly written explanatory introduction which precedes the full edited text. Appendices covering dedications, prologues and epilogues, performance history, the related music and textual apparatus are also included. The edition comes with a consolidated bibliography for ease of reference.
