One of the principles of the classical school was to keep comedy and tragedy distinct. The tragic dramatists of the Restoration, Dryden, Howard, Settle, Crowne, Lee, and others, composed what they called "heroic plays," such as the Indian Emperor, the Conquest of Granada, the Duke of Lerma, the Empress of Morocco, the Destruction of Jerusalem, Nero, and the Rival Queens.

I was sent to various schools, great and small; and was very early distinguished for my classical attainments, especially for my knowledge of Greek.
Their only sin lay in the use of classical German.

By and by, persecutions arose and gradually the Jews were driven into closer quarters and narrower communities.
