Strona 58 - When icicles hang by the wall And Dick the shepherd blows his nail And Tom bears logs into the hall And milk comes frozen home in pail, When blood is nipp'd and ways be foul, Then nightly sings the staring owl, Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
Strona 67 - Collier, p. 55, /. 8. Mr. Collier's note, p. 67, is : " No such passage is to be found in Shakespeare's Hamlet, as it has come down to us, either in the editions of 1603, 1604, or in any later impression. Possibly Armin may refer to the old Hamlet which preceded Shakespeare's tragedy ; but this seems unlikely, as he was an actor in the same theatre as that for which Shakespeare wrote.2
Strona 19 - Jemy, desirous of sallets, calles her to him. Lasse, sayes he, what shall I giue thee for a good sallet ? Faire sire, sayes the wench (for shee knew him for the kings foole, and she could not please him better then to call him faire sir) you giue me an atchison. Now he, hauing nothing but sixe French crownes about him, Canst thou change mee a crowne ? sayes he. Yea, sire, sayes shee. He gives her a crowne, and shee gives him a sallet for it, and shee went her way. Jemy thinks it was much to give...
Strona 16 - And a pearle spoone he still wore in his cap, To eate his meate he lov'd, and got by hap A pretty little foote, but a big hand, On which he ever wore rings rich and good : Backward well made as any in that land, Though thicke, and he did come of gentle bloud ; But of his wisdome ye shall quickly heare, How this Fat Foole was made on every where." And some capital jokes are recorded of him in this same
Strona 37 - In the town of Evesham, in Worcestershire, Jack Miller being there born, was much made of in every *•,* place. It happened that the Lord Shandoye's (Chandos) players came to town and played there ; which Jack not a little loved, especially the clown, whom he would embrace with a joyful spirit, and call him Grumball...
Strona 35 - Jack Miller resorted, as he was welcome to all, it chanced so there was a play, the players dressed them in the gentleman's kitchen, and so entered through the entry into the hall.
Strona 3 - To the most true and rightly compleat in all good gifts and graces the generous Gentlemen of Oxenford, Cambridge, and the Innes of Court" he declares " I have seene the stars at midnight in your societies." This, apparently, gave offence to some of the graver spirits among the old player's hosts, and his next and last tract, dated 1609, contains a kind of apology for it. This tract, The Italian Taylor and his Boy, a verse translation...
Strona 25 - See how things chanced; he spake truer than he was aware. For the chain berlaine, going home without him, tolde the king his auswere. Jemmy rose, made him ready, takes his horse, and rides to the churchyard in the high towne, where he found the sexton (as the custom is there) making nine graves — three for men, three for women, and three for children ; and whoso dyes next, first comes, first served. "Lend mee thy spade...
Strona 27 - Curled locks on idiot's heads, Yeallow as the amber, Playes on thoughts, as girls with beads. When their masse they stamber. Thicke of hearing, yet thin ear'd, Long of neck and visage, Hookie nosde and thicke of beard, • Sullen in his usage. Clutterfisted, long of arme, Bodie straight and slender'd, Boistrous hipt motly warm'd, Ever went leane Leonard.
Strona 16 - One eare was bigger than the other farre : His fore-head full, his eyes shinde like a flame, His nose flat, and his beard small, yet grew square ; His lips but little, and his wit was lesse, But wide of mouth, few teeth I must confesse. His middle thicke, as I have said before, Indifferent thighes and knees, but very short ; His legs be square, a foot long, and no more, Whose very presence made the King much sport. And a pcarle spoone he still wore in his cap, To eate his meate he lov'd, and got...
