(See 10 th S. iv. 41, 121, 201, 302.)

MONTAIGNE says :

Aminde couragiously vicious may happily furnish itselfe with security, but shee cannot be fraught with this selfe-joyning delight and satisfaction. Book iii. chap. ii. p. 410, col. 2.

Ma/hc.ureux. Dear loved sir, I find a mind courageously vicious may be put on a desperate security ; but can never be blessed with a firm enjoying and self - satisfaction. ' The Dutch Courtezan,' III. i. 233-6.

Conceive man accompanied with omni potency, you overwhelme him : he must in begging manner crave some impeachment and resistance of you. Book iii. chap. vii. p. 469, col. 1.

Freerill. But consider man furnished with omnipotence, and you overthrow him ; thou must cool thy impatient appetite. 'The Dutch Courte- zan,' III. i. 262-3.

Quee faerant litia, more* t>un' : il What erst were vices are now growne fashions." Book iii. chap. ii. p. 410, col. 2.

Freevi/l. What old times held as crimes, are now but fashions. 'The Dutch Courtezan,' III. i, 234. See also * The Fawn,' I. ii. 350.

Stercm ctilque sinim lene olet.

Ev'ry man's ordure well To his owne sense doth smell. Book iii. chap. viii. p. 474, cols. 1 and 2. Cod&hmou. Every man's turd smells well in 's own nose. 4 The Dutch Courtezan,' III. iii. 50-51.

Mulligrnb. I was a gentlewoman by my sister's side I can tell ye so methodically. Methodically! 1 wonder where I got that word? ! Sir Aminadab Ruth bad me kiss him methodic- ally ! I had it somewhere, and 1 had it indeed ' The Dutch Courtezan,' III. iii. 59-63.

Perhaps Marston got his word from Florio : _ Every one may speake truely, but to speake orderly, methodically t wisely and sufficiently, few can doe it. Book iii. chap. viii. p. 473. col. 2.

The weaknes of our condition causeth that things in their naturall simplicitie and puritie cannot fall into our use. The elements we enjoy are altered metals likewise, yea gold, must be em paired with some other stuffe to make it fit for our service. Nor vertue so simple, which Ariston, Pyrrho, and Stoikes made the end of their life, hath been able to doe no good without composition, &c. Book ii. chap. xx. p. 344, col. 1.

Freevill. But is this virtue in me? No, not pure, Nothing extremely best with us endures ; No use in simple purities ; the elements Are mix'd for use ; silver without allay Is all too eager to be wrought for use : Nor precise virtues, ever purely good, Holds useful size with temper of weak blood. 'The Dutch Courtezan/ IV. ii. 4046. The parallel to Act V. sc. i. 11. 28-37, is already recorded at 10 th S. iv. p. 42, col. 1.

I can never forget this good saying : /ii'^rent, qti<i' iiiitiiiH dolent : "They keepe a howling with most ostentation who are less sorrowfull at heart." Their lowring and puling is hatefull to the living and vaine to the dead. Wee shall easily dispence with them to laugh at us when we are dead, upon condition they smile upon us while wee live. Is not this the way to revive a man with spite ; that he who hath spitten in my face when I was living shall come and claw my feet when I am dead? Book ii. chap. xxxv. p. 378, col. 2..

-. Is not this better than louring and

pouting and puling, which is hateful to the living and vain to the dead? Come, come, you must live by the quick, when all is done ; and for my own part, let my wife laugh at me when I am dead, so she'll smile upon me whilst I live: but to see a woman whine, and yet keep her eyes dry : mourn, and yet keep her cheeks fat : nay, to see a woman claw her husband by the feet when he is dead, that would have scratched him by the face when he was living this now is somewhat rediculous. 'The Dutch Courtezan,' V. ii. 80-90.

For the parallel to Act V. sc. iii. 11. G8-81, see 10 th S. iv. p. 42, col. 1.

I turn now to ' The Fawn. 3 Montaigne, praising the Emperor Maxi- milian, says :
